Fundraising Event For Community Service Projects

On the 22nd of February, 2023, the Faculty of Pharmacy at Tishk International University successfully hosted its annual fundraising event for community service projects. The primary objective of the fundraising was to raise awareness and financial support for upcoming community service projects planned by the faculty. These projects included visits to an Autism Center, Orphanage, and Nursing Home. Each project will be executed separately, and the necessary steps will involve visiting the centres, identifying their needs and requirements, and providing them with the funds raised during the event.

The fundraising event commenced with an opening ceremony led by Dr. Abdulsamad Salahaddin, the President of Tishk International University, Dr. Mehmet Ozdemir, the Vice President of Tishk International University, Dr. Vedat Koksal, the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Dr. Esra Bayraktar, Head of Faculty of Pharmacy, and Dr. Rojan Arif, Coordinator of Faculty of Pharmacy.

The event featured several stands, including Food Stands, Medical Tests Stands, Games Stands, and Handicraft Stands. The Food Stand sold various delicacies, including traditional foods such as Dolma, Biryani, Maqluba, and sweet treats, all prepared by students under the supervision of faculty staff such as Dr. Ibrahim Ahmad, Dr. Parua Walzi, and Dr. Saya Mohammed. The Medical Tests Stands provided visitors with an opportunity to check their Blood Pressure, BMI, Glucose Level, and other vital health indicators. The students in this stand also offered advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The stand was organized and supervised by faculty staff, including Mr. Mohammed Dlshad, Ms. Danya Awni, and Ms. Zahraa Saad. The Games Stand provided a fun atmosphere for everyone and included exciting competitions among visitors, with winners receiving a small gift. This stand was organized and supervised by faculty staff, including Dr. Zeytun Hameed, Dr. Areej Amaar, and Ms. Darya Aziz.
