Where do we stand at saving the world?
Presenting the Social Good Summit 2019 in Istanbul, Halit Ergenç in his opening speech said: “In the whole universe, there is no other planet that we can live in so comfortably and healthfully. On the other hand, five children die in every five seconds. Farmers commit suicide in India because of drought. Worrying or focusing on the negative side is not a solution. Do we have enough time? We have to focus on this.” Posing the question “Where do we stand at saving the world?”, Halit Ergenç invited everyone to offer a small solution as to make the world a more liveable place.
