🇹🇷 23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramı kutlamamız neşe ve heyecan dolu geçti. 🎈Çocuklarımızın şarkı ve dans gösterileri hepimize mutluluk dolu bir gün yaşattı. 🌷 Ebru sanatçımız Atilla Can hem sanatı konusunda bizi bilgilendirdi, hem de gönlümüzü güzelliklerle doldurdu. 💃🏻 Uygur dansları, Stanford “Down with Gravity” Juggling klubü, Peru ve Azerbeycan dans grupları kutlamamıza ayrı bir renk kattı.

💐 Bu güzel güne katkıda bulunan herkese gönülden teşekkürler!
