Help Others; Be a Hero

All superheroes have one thing in common: they help others. And TDP (Toplumsal Duyarlılık Projeleri/Social Responsibility Projects) helps you become a hero, with 16 projects you can contribute to as a volunteer.

But if you don’t have time to get involved in a project, TDP has another way for you to be a hero, by making donations to the book and bottle cap boxes located all around campus.

You can drop off your old books in the book boxes. The books will be collected by TDP volunteers and sent to schools and other institutions in need. You can bring anything from literary works to textbooks and encyclopedias—all books are welcome.

If you don’t have any books, you still have another chance to be a hero. After you finish a bottle of water, save the cap and put it in a TDP bottle cap box. When TDP collects 250 kg of caps they are able to get a wheelchair for someone in need, such as a family member of a university employee.

As you can see, it’s easy to be a hero. Just bring your old books and bottle caps to the TDP donation boxes. To be part of the solution, you can contact TDP:
