“I AM VERY HAPPY”
Ms. Hasibe Gıdık, a candidate running for mukhtar’s office in Pınarhisar district of Kırklareli province, learned at age 60 how to use a computer so that she could better explain her projects.
Ms. Hasibe Gıdık received training on using computer, smart phone and Internet in the course provided to mukhtars and candidate mukhtars in Kaynarca town of Pınarhisar district of Kırklareli province under the “Life is Simpler with Internet” project.
Following the completion of training, Ms. Hasibe Gıdık placed a video-call to her grandchildren over the Internet. Noting that she understood once more that learning had no age limits, Ms. Gıdık would carry a part of her campaign on the digital platform.
Explaining that she could do anything she wished through her computer, Ms. Gıdık said: “We are now able to do what we
wish on the computer. We have even learned to make
video-calls. I did not know that earlier. Now I see my
children and grandchildren on video-call. If I am elected
as the mukhtar, I will be able to serve our citizens over the Internet thanks to the Life is Simpler with Internet project.
I am very happy”.
