TEGV's library project aims to bring children's libraries to three disadvantaged areas of Turkey: Siirt-Kurtalan, Mardn Savur and Batman. In each of these areas, there is a dearth of resources for kids, and TEGV's activity locations are an incredibly valuable and important part of each community.
Each library costs approximately $8,000, and we are working to build each library, one by one.
Right now, we are still focused on the Siirt-Kurtalan location. With past donations, we have been able to buy books and basic furniture for Siirt-Kurtalan's library, and now we are waiting to collect enough donations to complete the library all together (approximately $5,000).
The children of Siirt Kurtalan continue to enjoy the books and desks we purchased for them with the first set of donations we received.
It has been a slow period for donations, so please help us pick up the pace!
All three of the communities we are targeting are in areas of Turkey that particularly in these times need glimmers of hope. Please help us be that glimmer by providing children with one of the most meaningful thing you can: access to knowledge and resources to build themselves up and out of the disadvantaged circumstances that they are in.
On behalf of our kids, we thank you all for your continued support and interest!
