Volunteer at the foundation for children with leukemia

Hello everyone, my name is Ayşe Kübra Yıldırım. I am a last grade student at Basent University, Department of Classroom Teaching. I have been volonteering for LÖSEV for two years now as part of the social responsibility project. Within he project we were able to open a LÖSEV stand with the help of our rector and Cultural Directorate. We sell our products there and at the same time explain what LÖSEV is hoping to get more attention to this problem. At the same time I continue volonteering outside the campus on an individual basis; during the Ramazan, before the New Year and during the Kurban celebrations I continue handing out and hanging up bulletins and informative journals. They don't really give us permition to spend a lot of time with the kids, but we get to see them anyway during the March for Healthy Life, or during their visits. Our school is very sensitive to LÖSEV and cares a lot about it. I do this work together with my friends, I am not alone. For two years now as a Volonteering Community we have been supporting LÖSEV as much as we can. I think life of every kid is valuable and important, when we make those kids smile I always think how lucky we are. I want everyone to take a role in such communities. Personally volonteering for LÖSEV made me realise what is happening out there, what cancer is; as for personal growth I have met many people and families on and outside the campus, I've become a hero for some kids and this made me happy and proud. Being able to touch and affect their lives made me happy. I invite all of you to voloteer. Thank you.
