Dear students,
In the wake of the catastrophic earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on Monday, organizations around the world began accepting donations to help the victims of the disaster. Also in Wrocław, a point has been established where volunteers can bring necessities (the list of the most necessary items is attached below). The initiative is organized by the Turkish Embassy in Warsaw and has collection points in the largest Polish cities.
Until Friday (10.02) you can bring donations to the Wrocław Collection Center (ul. Wita Stwosza 15a/2a). The list of the most necessary items is attached below, but it is also updated on an ongoing basis on the embassy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/t.c.varsova/. On behalf of the collection coordinators, we kindly ask you to please check the list in advance and make sure that the products delivered are the most needed.
The direct contact person for the Wrocław collection is Elvan Gazi (phone number: +48 696 939 860). Please direct any questions regarding donations to him or to isn@uwr.edu.pl.
On Friday (10.02) the collected items will be transported from Wrocław and will go to those in need. After this date, you will no longer be able to donate at this collection point.
We encourage you to help, we thank those involved, and we wish our students from Turkey and Syria and their families strength and perseverance.
