Bilfen Students Overcome Barriers With TOFD (Turkish Spinal Cord Paralysis Association)

Collaborating hand in hand with TOFD (Turkish Spinal Cord Paralysis Association), Bilfen Çamlıca High School students, as part of the 'Leave a Trace with a Cap' project, have been collecting bottle caps throughout the year. Our students have not only contributed to providing wheelchairs for disabled individuals but have also succeeded in preventing environmental and soil pollution around them.

Eager to continue their collaboration with TOFD, our students invited TOFD to our school. They organized a bazaar accompanied by handicrafts made by TOFD members and homemade food, donating a portion of the proceeds to the association. With the remaining funds, they arranged a trip to Florya Aquarium, fulfilling the dream of a little child chosen by TOFD's own social services.

Through their dedicated efforts, our students have gained awareness of the importance of environmental consciousness, mutual aid, and solidarity, and have developed an understanding of the challenges faced by disabled individuals in their daily lives.
