The Sole Meaning of life is to Serve Humanity....by Leo Tolstoy
It is the second largest landslide disaster in Turkey's history, after a devastating earthquake in 1999 that killed more than 20,000 people. At the moment, Turkey needs nothing but help from the world. The people of Turkey need help from the people of the world, be it financially, with medicine, with medical equipment. Meanwhile, various local leaders, including the Turkish president and prime minister, have requested assistance. We, the people of the world, should stand by the Turkish people as much as we can. Always remember that man has appeared on earth to help man. Great sages have said that serving people is the ultimate religion.
