Cardiff University’s Turkish Society to hold a bake sale in aid of earthquake victims

The Turkish Society at Cardiff University launched its first fundraising event on Friday 10^th and this week it is organising a fundraising bake sale between the 13^th and 15^th February. You can find its stall on the second floor of the Students’ Union between 9:30 and 16:30 this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

After the devastating seven-point-eight magnitude earthquake which hit Turkey and Syria on Monday 30^th January, the death toll surpassed 25,000. Over 800,000 people urgently need food and over 6000 buildings have collapsed which has caused thousands of people to become homeless.

Baked goods will include cakes, cookies, and other delicious Turkish treats. The president of the society will also help bake the treats and the profits will go towards helping those affected by the earthquakes receive life-saving supplies.
