                Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well. As you may be aware, a devastating 
M7.8 earthquake struck southern and central Turkey, as well as northern 
and western Syria, on 6 February 2023. This has created significant 
challenges, particularly for NGOs that are on the ground and working to 
provide support to those affected.

With this in mind, I am delighted to forward and share an invitation 
with you for the upcoming lecture "How to make a difference: Free 3D 
printed devices for earthquake victims" featuring Zeynep Karagöz from 
Robotel Türkiye, which I am co-organizing with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mara 
Mills (NYU Center for Disability Studies) and Prof. Dr. Robert Stock 
(Humboldt Universität zu Berlin). This event aims to raise awareness 
about the invaluable work that Robotel Türkiye is undertaking to assist 
earthquake victims who have lost limbs.

I strongly encourage you to attend this lecture to learn more about 
Robotel Türkiye's efforts, the challenges they are facing, and the ways 
in which we can support their work. This event promises to be insightful 
and informative, and most importantly, it is for a good cause.

Thank you, and I hope to see you at the lecture.

Best wishes,

Melike Şahinol

This lecture offers an opportunity to learn more about our work at 
Robotel Türkiye, which I am heading, in providing free 3D-printed 
prostheses for children who lack access to such devices. I will focus 
the impact it has had on the lives of those we serve. Our primary focus 
has been on providing mechanical hands, arms, and fingers to children, 
although we have also served adults upon request. However, recent events 
have led us to extend our services to include shoulder mechanisms, adult 
models, and orthotic prosthesis devices.

On 6 February 2023, at 04:17 TRT (01:17 UTC), a M7.8 earthquake struck 
southern and central Turkey and northern and western Syria. In this 
lecture, I will focus on our efforts in the earthquake region in Turkey, 
where we have received numerous requests for our services. I will 
discuss the impact of our work in the region and the urgent need for 
volunteers and financial support to continue our efforts. Our 
organization is currently facing a significant increase in demand, and 
we cannot continue our vital work without additional resources.

I will discuss the challenges and successes of our work, and the ways in 
which interested individuals can get involved and make a difference. 
With your support, we can continue to serve those in need and make a 
positive impact on their lives.

Therefore, I would like to call for financial support from individuals, 
organizations, and institutions who share our vision of improving the 
lives of those who lack access to prosthetic devices. *Donate by

. 
Your contributions will go a long way in helping us provide free 
prostheses to those who need them the most. Together, we can make a 
difference and ensure that everyone has access to the medical care they 
deserve.
