On Tuesday, August 17 at 3:02am local time, an earthquake measuring
7.4 on the Richter scale hit north-western Turkey. 
About 17,000 people were killed and many more injured and homeless.
To help the victims of the earthquake, you can follow the link to a website with reliable 
International Help Organizations.

After this enormous disaster our help may seem like a drop in the bucket, 
but if we can all contribute, our help does make a difference.

We can't do anything to give people their families back, but we can help people giving their homes back.  Winter is approaching very fast, thousands and thousands of people are homeless, so they desperately need all of our help to give them back their houses, schools, hospitals...

As you can see below Tarkan donated about 27,000,000,000 Turkish lyra (almost 70,000$) 
to help his people.

 Besides the various other charity projects Tarkan did, he also donated the profits of the Istanbul concert, January 14th, 2000, in favor of the earthquake victims.
 
One year after the disaster, Turkey still needs your help.  About 90% op the homeless people got another home, that's a great start - but it also means that 10% still don't have a decent home!
  
So, let's all follow Tarkan's example, and donate whatever you can
to help the Turkish people.
