After the earthquake disaster, the epicenter of which was in Kahramanmaraş and which caused great
destruction in 10 provinces, Istanbul Gelişim University launched a "Disaster Relief Campaign for
Earthquake Regions" to be sent to earthquake zones.
Stating that after the earthquake that caused great destruction and loss of life, they planned and
managed the process from the first moment to be with the earthquake victims, Istanbul Gelisim
University Secretary General and Gastronomy Departments Coordinator Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serdar Egeli
said:
“As Istanbul Gelisim University, we started making sandwiches to meet the most basic need for food.
Our sandwich production, which started with 10,000, has now reached 22,071. We carry out this
process in our 3 separate kitchens together with our 150 gastronomy students, food engineers and
gastronomy department academicians, and people who come to help from the sector and bring
supplies. We established this sandwich production line to help the disaster victims. The sandwiches
we make are delivered to earthquake victims through Red Crescent.”
IGU ensures that the sandwiches to be sent to disaster areas are packaged in the best way, and the
expiry date is added on it, and with the support of the Red Crescent, it ensures that they reach the
relevant regions with completely sheltered vehicles.
Aid continues to be collected in J Block SKS Office. Below is the list of urgent needs for our interested
students.
