Every week, on Saturdays and Sundays, tent areas where earthquake victims were staying were visited. In a tent where volunteers stayed, there were tools and equipment such as puzzles, chess, drawing books and coloring pencils. These activities were carried out with children with the participation of volunteers. Activities were held with the children, depending on their wishes. Thanks to the activities and games played, an interactive and collaborative communication was achieved with the children. In this way, the effect of the earthquake was alleviated, albeit slightly. These activities made them feel good psychologically. And it allowed them to normalize faster by getting out of the effect of the earthquake.
