Dear TEDx family, today we want to introduce a speaker who has been volunteering in civil society work for years.
Who is Aykut Kadir Kurt?
Born in Sakarya in 1985, Kurt graduated from the Department of Economics at Istanbul University in 2009. For nine years he has been working as an analyst in the IT departments of various banks. He has also been a blogger and editor for many technology websites. Kurt says that working for civil society does him good as he tries to understand and learn about life: “After volunteering for 10 years on behalf of children living under state protection, my dear wife and I founded ‘Belki de Sensin’ (Maybe It's You), an organization working for stem cell donation. People who could have gone on with their lives couldn't, because of society.” And he adds: “Ironically, while we were trying to build a life insurance, my beloved, because she could not find a stem cell match (we had no illness before founding Belki de Sensin), now gives us strength from another world.” A volunteer of Belki de Sensin, Aykut Kadir develops various projects for the organization. Aykut Kadir Kurt has a son.
