Many of the community service groups working under the umbrella of the Social Awareness Projects (TDP) student volunteer organization are dedicated to making life better for children. To celebrate the coming of summer, TDP recently held their second annual Children’s Festival, hosting approximately 250 of the children served by their projects.
The event took place at the Spring Festival area. From magic shows and dance performances to inflatable games and sand painting, many different activities were offered for the children. After working and studying with them all year long, the volunteers appeared to have enjoyed the day of fun and entertainment as much as their young guests did.
Among the children who came to Bilkent for the festival were children served by the Support to University Personnel Project, the Voluntary Teaching Project, the Child Care Centers Project, the Street Lamp Project and the Bridge to Dream Project.
If you would like to become a part of this big family and volunteer with any of projects, you need only contact TDP at tdp@bilkent.edu.tr.
