💼 What the programme involves
Kirklareli Municipality is organizing a campaign on collecting new and used toys all around Turkey in cooperation with GSM and Toy Library. It's a national campaign that will reach several cities and organizations promoting it. Our volunteers will work with local young people and national volunteers on classifying due to age, repairing collected toys and packing them as presents by adding personal stories. The toys will be distributed to Roma and refugee children because Kirklareli is the town hosting several Roma families and refugee camps. In addition, the volunteers will have the chance to learn how to make wooden toys with an expert.
