Istanbul Beylikdüzü Gökkuşağı College Cambridge students delivered food packages to 30 families in need, with the income they earned from the events and studies of the Hurts Foundation club they established in this year.

A group of students studying in the A Level program at the College set up the Hurts Foundation Club to reach people who need help while aiming to become a doctor. Students promoting the club in all branches of the College have aimed to increase the number of the participants through their social media account by creating an organizational chart.

Making a statement about the establishment of the club, Board Member of Gökkuşağı College Şule Gayretli said: “Everyone was surprised when Ala AbuBakr, a 12th grade student, said, 'Friends, we will bring back the bills of your expenses when you started this project and return the money we collected.' Nobody wanted to get their money back for the support we started voluntarily, but Ala’s idea was to aim a self-established association. Other younger students who would continue this association dream that they would become a link of a spontaneous chain of solidarity that existed in the coming years.”

Gayretli continued her speech as follows:

“Our students, who decided that the fastest material flow would provide by selling corn, then enriched the sales stand with lemonade, cotton candy, and home-made snacks. They continued their sales by printing their own logo on T-shirts and starting to visit the other campuses. Meanwhile, they prepared packages by collecting the toys and clothes that students do not use and to deliver them to those in need.”

Stating that the students prepared food packages for 30 families in need with the money collected, Chairman of the Board of the College Abdulkadir Gayretli said: “Our goal is to reach the people in need by enriching our activities every month in different themes.”
