About the Documentary: Feyza’s Kitchen

Set against the backdrop of Türkiye’s beautiful Aegean region, this 45-minute documentary beautifully narrates the story behind the Academy of Gastronomy – an innovative educational institution established under the auspices of Ege University’s Faculty of Tourism in Çeşme. Brought to life with the joint support of Bridge to Türkiye Fund and Shipley Foundation, the Academy offers a pioneering model of local development bridging culinary arts, education, entrepreneurship and agriculture in the very heart of Türkiye's tourism industry. The documentary’s scope extends beyond development, exploring Çeşme’s vibrant but often overlooked agricultural heritage. In a region where urbanization is rapidly changing the town’s landscape, Feyza’s Kitchen also highlights Çeşme’s neglected potential and the remarkable impact of community involvement and women's empowerment.

The American Turkish Association of Washington, DC (ATA-DC), one of the oldest and respected Turkish American organizations in the U.S., has served the Turkish-American Community since 1965. ATA-DC’s mission is to promote Turkish culture in the U.S. and build friendship between Turkish and American people as we foster a stronger Turkish American community in the Washington DC metro area through educational, social and cultural activities.

On February 6th, a devastating earthquake hit 11 cities in Türkiye and Syria, causing the loss of more than 50,000 lives, injuring over 100,000, and displacing 1.5 million people. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. Given the devastating aftermath of the disaster, ATA-DC Board immediately launched a fundraiser campaign with Turkish Philanthropy Funds Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund to provide immediate and long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts for the affected communities.

We're committed to ensuring that 100% of the donations go directly to the victims and families in need. While we still identify the most pressing needs of the local communities, you can still donate and help us spread the word about this fundraiser campaign to reach our goal of $300,000.
