"The only place where money is no good" in Konya! "Rose Kitchen"

The 'Rose Kitchen', established for the insane, known as the "Roses of Konya", in Konya's historical Bedesten Bazaar, continues to serve those in need with hot meals cooked by volunteer chefs every day.


MONEY IS NO GOOD IN 'ROSE KITCHEN', ONLY HELP AND KINDNESS

Mevlüt Ayvazoğlu, the founder of the 'Rose Kitchen' and who deals with the insane people one by one, stated that “We have no commercial purposes here. This is the only place where money is no good. We provide food to those in need. Some philanthropists provide all our needs. People from Konya have started to learn. We receive calls and messages from France, England etc. People say, 'Give food on behalf of us too.' We provide food to these people in need with the support of the donors."


AYVAZOĞLU INVITS ROSES TO DINNER EVERY DAY

Mevlüt Ayvazoğlu said that “they invite the “ROSES” every day and they all come with smiles on their faces, eat their food and leave."

Ayvazoğlu stated that “these people interact with each other and when I go to the market, 40- 50 people follow me. They think I will take them to dinner or meet their needs."


VOLUNTEER COOKS GROW THE KINDNESS MOVEMENT

Sema Aydın, who cooks for the soup kitchen voluntarily, said, “We are volunteer people. We want this work to go even further. I hope there will be more nice and sensitive people."
