Given the devastating effects of the earthquakes that recently took place in southeastern Turkey and Northern Syria, we ask that you please consider donating essential items to local relief efforts. There is also a reliable disaster relief fund which is collaborating with ahbap, a local NGO in Turkey. Any amount given can go a long way: https://bridgetoturkiye.org/.
If you are part of the UW-Madison campus community, you can donate items of critical need at dropoff locations across campus and the Madison area. Please follow the Madison Association of Turkish Students (MATS) Instagram, the Muslim Student Association Instagram, and Turkish Studies Instagram pages to hear about upcoming donation announcements.
The International Division at UW-Madison has released the following statement, which includes links to support services and resources across campus: https://news.wisc.edu/support-following-the-earthquake-in-syria-and-turkey/.
Thank you!
