Charity auction with transfer market
After the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, Transfermarkt.com.tr started a charity auction to help the people affected. Juan Mata (34) started with a signed shirt, followed by Moroccan professional Sofyan Amrabat (26) from Fiorentina, Sevilla loanee Alex Telles (30, came from Manchester United), Borussia Dortmund’s Marius Wolf (27 ), Fenerbahce’s Enner Valencia (33) and his teammate Attila Szalai (25).
Cengiz Ünder (25), who switched from AS Roma to Olympique Marseille last summer after a previous loan, is now also part of the team. Here you can participate in the auction, which ends on March 8th. The TM team forwards the proceeds in full and directly to UNICEF’s earthquake aid.
More than 50,000 people lost their lives in the earthquake disaster. The tremors collapsed tens of thousands of buildings in south-east Turkey alone. Efforts are being made across the area to improve the devastating conditions on the ground for survivors. These are coordinated by the civil protection authority AFAD in cooperation with public institutions and organizations as well as NGOs.
Helpful people can not only help the injured victims and survivors of the disaster on site, but also with donations. These can over virtualPOSbank accounts and SMS afad.gov.tr be made. There is also a further overview of aid projects and donation options here.
