Speaking to Anadolu, Sibel Sicimoğulları, head of the group's Children's Club, said that today's organization was an idea of children.
She said that after the earthquake, some of them started to ask what they could do for victims as everyone was making something and offering to send their toys to quake-hit children.
She said they first wanted to send their toys, adding that sending toys from the UK to Türkiye could be difficult. Then, Sicimoğulları said they had talked with children about what they could do for quake-hit children in Türkiye.
"When they told about these thoughts and feelings, I told them, 'Let's take action then, let's sell these toys, if we can't send the toys, then let's send the money,'" Sicimoğulları noted.
She went on to say that as Children's Club, they also decided to tell their feelings and send them to children in Türkiye to show solidarity with their "brothers and sisters."
"... All of them wrote very nice letters to their friends. I want to share one. 'I was very upset because my cousin Reyhan's home was destroyed. She was left in it. They couldn't take it out. I wanted to send my toys and clothes to them. I pray a lot."
Children were also responsible for the organization as they are always asked to take responsibility, she added.
In other words, underlined Sicimogullari, this shows children have powerful feelings and feel stronger emotions than us.
