Donate to Turkey and Syria Earthquake Relief
The severe earthquake that occurred in Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023 has already killed and injured tens of thousands of people. Taiwan is also a region prone to earthquakes, and the 921 earthquake was a trauma to many Taiwanese.
In the first place, the people and the government have done many charitable acts to help Turkey and Syria. We are also thinking about how we can do our little bit to assist and help.
We use discarded cardboard boxes and transform them into donation boxes. The donation box is divided into three compartments: special funds from the government of the Republic of China, the local Disaster Relief Association (AKUT); and the WOSM Foundation.
In addition to the action of donating money, we also hope that by choosing different donation objects, we can let the donors know where the money they donate will be used, instead of acting blindly, hoping to use every donation effectively.
The money donated to the government of the Republic of China will be transferred to the Turkish government through Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
AKUT will be used directly for disaster relief projects.
The emergency fund of the WOSM Foundation is to help local Scout organizations and youth contribute to the community.
Although our total income is not much (Taiwan government NTD.1000/AKUT 1000TL./WOSM Foundation USD.50), but it is a collection of everyone's love and charity. The money may have been used to buy snacks, or it was actually not used. The required expenses, when the donor is willing to donate, means that he will think about how to use his own strength to help others. We also emphasize a concept: donating is doing your best, not comparing how much.
