Retired teacher Selma Han\u0131m smiles as she waters the tomato seedlings at dawn, saying, &#8220;This isn&#8217;t just a garden for us; it&#8217;s the only place where we can breathe.&#8221; This area, once a pile of rubble, has now become a rehabilitation center where children connect with the soil and young people lift their heads from social media screens to connect with nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/eulspotlight.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eulspotlight.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8.png 541w, https:\/\/eulspotlight.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-8-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the garden, no one is a &#8220;boss&#8221;; everyone harvests what they sow, and shares the surplus with neighbors in need.
