refugee work/volunteering in Istanbul

I found this but it wasn't specific enough for me. I've decided to go (back) to Istanbul in a few weeks. I'm thinking about doing some work (volunteer or otherwise) with refugees. Do you know of any opportunities specifically in Istanbul (not in other cities in Turkey)?

I did some refugee volunteer work a long time ago. I speak a decent amount of Turkish and Arabic. My professional skills are general business-related.

I would be grateful for any ideas that you have.

Have you looked at Women for Women's Human Rights ? Not so much refugee work, but they have women's shelters and many other projects in Turkey. Istanbul is such a wonderful city-good luck!!
