Tezmaksan, the leader of the machining industry, did not forget the children in the aid it provided to the region after the earthquake disaster in February. Continuing its support since the first day of the earthquake, Tezmaksan took action to establish container libraries in the Doğanşehir district of Malatya under the leadership of Tezmaksan Academy. The container libraries, which were brought to life with the donations of both Tezmaksan Academy and its employees, will include educational and instructive books for children of all ages, as well as stories and novels.
Continuing its assistance to the region after the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş and caused devastating effects in 11 provinces, Tezmaksan once again demonstrated its sensitivity to the continuity of education and training. Under the leadership of Tezmaksan Academy, Tezmaksan, which will establish a container library in the Doğanşehir district of Malatya with the donations of its employees, took the first step of the project by transforming an old beet factory that was not affected by the earthquake into a library. With the support of the Tezmaksan Academy team, two more container libraries will be established in the second leg of the project with the support of the Malatya Governorship.
Library support from Tezmaksan Academy to education
Stating that they continue to provide necessary assistance to meet the needs of the people living in the region, Tezmaksan General Manager Hakan Aydoğdu said, “Our volunteer team in the field has been working to meet the basic needs since the first day. At this point, we should not forget children as well as adults, because their continuing education and training is very valuable for our future. Based on this, we are establishing libraries with our volunteer Tezmaksan Academy team. In the first stage of the project, which we carried out under the leadership of Tezmaksan Academy, we transformed an old beet factory that was not destroyed in the earthquake into a library. In addition, we continue our efforts at full speed to make two container libraries available to children in the region. It is one of our primary goals to increase the content and number of our library, which will include educational and instructive books, to include other regions in the coming period.”
Aydoğdu, who also gave information about Tezmaksan Academy, stated that Tezmaksan Academy, which was established in 2015, supports the machining industry in CNC, software training and employment, and said, “We are building a bridge between industry and education. In our academy, which provides free training in 7 different branches according to the needs of machining, more than 40 thousand students have been given seminars to date. In this way, students from 21 different cities had the opportunity to benefit from our academy.”
Hakan Aydoğdu, who also gave information about the support they provided in the earthquake area, said, "In addition to our container library project, we also supported the establishment of the container city in Malatya Doğanşehir and Kahramanmaraş Pazarcık. In addition, we have also provided necessities such as generators, food, hygiene materials, medical products, blankets, close to a thousand, to the region. As Tezmaksan team, we took part in the field for 3 weeks during the earthquake. Our support continues at the point of supply of needs.”
