Ankara, Turkey 2012 Events
The 2012 3rd Miss Deaf International Pageant and 1st Mister Deaf International pageant took place during the week of July 16-28, 2012 at the Kenk Park in Ankara, Turkey. There were 33 contestants all together from all over the world.
Those pageant events brought deaf people from the educational, industrial, cultural and professional fields, including students and academia together for an open dialogue on international deaf cultural topics. The 2012 MMDI pageant had a full program of conferences, seminars, tutorials, technical papers, plenary sessions, and much more.
The president of the Deaf Club of Ankara, Turkey Tolga Aydin and his crew were awesome in making it possible for the MMDI pageant and the sightseeing.
Yasin Soy, well-known and famous producer and Ilke Turkoglu, well-known choreographer were wonderful and made the final the best ever.
We went to shop at 2,500 years old village, visiting Father of Turkey Memorial, and Underground Cities of Cappadocia We had a wonderful lunch which was provided by the Ankara government. Transportation was also provided by the Ankara government.
Osman Keskin, the general manager of the JW Marriott, provided us fabulous accommodation and breakfast; the service was out of this world.
Staff and volunteers were energetic and enthusiastic, making this the most wonderful and historic MMDI event here in Ankara, Turkey!
