We Mobilized for Van!

Bahçeşehir University Search and Rescue Unit BUSAR mobilized to help heal the wounds of the earthquake that struck Van on 23 October 2011. As a result of the aid campaign in which Bahçeşehir University students worked as volunteers, 28 tons of relief supplies were delivered to Van. The BUSAR team distributed 10 tons of the relief supplies to those in need themselves.

The supplies, delivered to Van by an ACT Airlines cargo plane, include many items ranging from blankets to medicine, food to clothing, stationery to hygiene products, and baby food to diapers...
In addition, the Social Responsibility Club BUSOLUK will set up a rehabilitation tent with the proceeds from the food fair it held in the university's main foyer, to provide emotional support to children traumatized by the earthquake in Van. The tent will be staffed by volunteer students trained in child development, as well as expert pedagogues and psychologists.
