Duyarlı Kutu Project Is Back!: Celebrating April 23

Duyarlı Kutu Project Is Back!: Celebrating April 23

Dear ÖzÜ Stakeholders,

Saying “Children Should Smile Not Just Once, but Always,” we are pleased to launch the eighth edition of the Duyarlı Kutu Project this year.

We originally started this project in 2011 to bring joy to children affected by the Van earthquake, and this year’s destination is Nişantepe Primary School. We warmly invite you to become a part of this act of solidarity.

There are two different gift options within the scope of this project: Duyarlı Kutu and basketball, volleyball, and footballs. You may choose to prepare a Duyarlı Kutu, or you may purchase one or more basketballs, volleyballs, and footballs and deliver them to our stand. The balls will be gifted to the classrooms at the primary school, while the Duyarlı Kutular will be given directly to the students. You may contribute any number of Duyarlı Kutular and/or balls.

The collected gifts will be delivered to the students of Nişantepe Primary School by Duyarlı ÖzÜ Volunteers as part of a special event.

Please do not forget to include an April 23 note inside the gift box you prepare.
