Dear Friend,

I am so excited to tell you about our country, Turkey, and our great leader Kamal Ataturk.  He has banned the fez,   which has a religious purpose.  So now our country is more secular. 

We have a new alphabet  and women have the right to vote.  With the addition of the new alphabet and public education centers, the literacy rate went from 20% to 90%!  He has also set a spark in everyone’s minds about cultural and art.  He opened a lot of museums, and I’ve been to many of them.

Your friend,

Caitlin
