Eyuboglu Year-End Pictures

June 2003

School Neighborhood

The picture on the left shows the view I looked at every day from one of my classrooms. The neighborhood around the school is poor. Our ride to school allowed a glimpse at the millions of poor villagers who have moved into the outskirts of Istanbul in the past decades. The picture on the left shows the view south from the school. The school is a green, walled compound. The high-rises in the far distance are Atasehir, the upscale neighborhood where we lived.

Celebrations


The science department said farewell to us at a special dinner at a Turkish restaurant. A wonderful evening and memory.


Saying goodbye to Ahmet Duran, my department head


After the final general meeting, the school hosted a end-of-year dinner in the school's garden. The picture shows the founder, Rustem Eyuboglu, sitting with members of the science department.

It was very difficult to say goodbye to our friends! Here is Evie with French teacher Rachel, our neighbor and friend, as well as Greg and Banu, who got married July 6.
