In the framework of the campaign organized on April 23, Children’s Day, TV channels ATV, CNBC-E, CNN Turk, Kanal D, Kanal 7, Show TV, TGRT, NTV, TRT and TV8 will broadcast the campaign live during the day. Turks living abroad can watch the campaign on Euro D. Bank account numbers will be announced for those who want to make donations.
Citizens, who want to contribute to children’s education, can participate in the campaign by calling Disbank, Kocbank and Yapi Kredi call centers or through web sites of these banks. GSM operators Aria, Turkcell and Aycell subscribers can send a message to 3353 after writing "Education" and make a TL 5 million donation.

The introduction meeting of the campaign, whose slogan is "Are you ready for a brighter, more hopeful and self-respecting Turkey?" took place yesterday at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. TEGV Chairman Cengiz Solakoglu, who stated that the campaign was a sort of education mobilization said, "Education is very important to not take the current problems of Turkey into the future. We want all Turkish citizens to participate in the campaign and to contribute to Turkey’s future."

TEGV Deputy Chairman Burhan Karacam said that they expect a wide participation in the campaign which will start today at 10:00 and ends at 01:00.

TEGV, which raised $1.3 million in the campaign last year, provides opportunities for children between 7-16 to improve their education after school. Children, whose psychological, mental and physical abilities are determined, are educated in education parks, education units and mobile education units. TEGV, which works with donations, has contributed to the education of 300,000 children so far.
