| hi, my name is Jean Michell. I´m 16 years old. I´m from Colombia ( South America). I could see a interesting program in discovery travel -n- living and know about the life of Huseyin Ozer. I want to congratulate him because he is the probe that it doesn´t matter the place, the country, the bad situation we can be, while we have the vision and the tenacity we can do whatever we want. I hope he can share what he has gotten to improve the life of thousand of people that maybe are in the same situation, and that most important factor is the education. So, congratulations and I´ll be soon in a sofra restaurant. Thank you so much |

Early this morning I saw a documental in Travel and living channel, about
your life, Mr. Ozer. I was surprised for your amazing determination and
constance. Here, in Argentina, many children are poor, some of them, very few, can study. I work hard in a foundation that try to change their
realities, their lives, but, when I saw the program today, I realized that
the only way for this could happen is if they want to, is if they've got the
intention to change their destinies, as you've got.
I must show muy admiration, specially for your desire to study, to know
more, to be someone, choosing the difficult way. When I saw you recieving the customers, talking to them, I underestand your first secret, so simple, so clear: make the other feel "unique", "the one".
I also read at your web site, how important is for you the staff that you
work with, this is the second secret.
I'm sure the third is simple you.
My congratullations Mr. Ozer. You are a model, a referent, an ideal to
follow.
Please, excuse my english.

My name is Verónica Desseno, I´m from Argentina (so, sorry for my bad english).
I don´t know how late the TV channels send to Argentina the programs, but today I saw one about you, on a Travel and Living´s program.
Just wanted to tell you that really was a pleasure listen you and your history... Beter I said that was a pleasure to see how you changed your "destiny" (if we have one).
I think that people like you, are an example!
…Just that!
Well… Have a great life!

Dear Huseyin,
I first ate in your restaurant in Mayfair, the Aspava as it was then, in the early 1980�s. I thoroughly enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the great cooking served there in equal amounts. My friend and I were treated well and even given some food to take away for our return journey on the train.
