We are still feeling the bitter loss of Mr. Cardenas, Education Advisor to the Board of Directors, our valuable school administrator. We organized a memorial ceremony for Mr. Cardenas on February 20. As Hisar family, we remembered the great memories we shared with him.
At the ceremony; Prof. Dr. Emre Gönensay, Founder Representative of Hisar Education Foundation, Feyyaz Yüzatlı, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Andres Cardenas, the eldest son of Mr. Cardenas, Meral Olcay, Principal of our primary school, Elif İlayda Karakullukcu ’17 and İpek Erduran, OAB President, shared a few words on their feelings and special memories with Mr. Cardenas. His dear students in the school chorus and orchestra, whom he was always proud to watch and listen, sang his favorite songs. Then we watched the video compiled by our high school students where students shared their words they shared for Mr. Cardenas and one of our middle school students read a poem written by Mr. Cardenas: “I Look and I See Hope”. He had written this poem a few years ago to inspire hoe to us all when Turkey was going through bad times.
We will never forget his great contribution to Hisar and miss him very much. Rest in peace dear Mr. Cardenas.
