Interview- Zeynep Atasoy<\/strong><\/p>

Rabia Selvanur \u015eanl\u0131, a senior student at \u00dcsk\u00fcdar University, Department of Sociology, worked as a photographer in the earthquake zone with Children Of The Earth Association during the earthquake, which is called the disaster of the century. She talked about the experiences of earthquake victims and her experiences in the earthquake zone.<\/p><\/blockquote>

How did you decide to go to the earthquake zone?<\/strong><\/article>
I was afraid to go to the earthquake zone because my family experienced the 1999 earthquake and I grew up with the fear of earthquakes. However, from the first moment of the earthquake, I provided material and moral assistance in Istanbul. After a certain period of time, after my own psychological well-being, I thought that I could help in the region. I met YE\u00c7ED thanks to my best friend. She went to Ad\u0131yaman with the Earth Children’s Association (YE\u00c7ED) while the aftershocks continued. Even though I was worried about my friend during this process, I was very proud of his sacrifice for a good cause. I felt ready to see the field in the last year of my sociology undergraduate education with the hope that we could use the education we received in a beneficial way for people. I say that I am glad I took this journey.<\/article>

What was it like to be on the ground with the Earth Children’s Association (YE\u00c7ED) during this disaster?<\/b>
<\/b><\/span><\/p>

YE\u00c7ED is an organization that thinks that all children in the world are the same and that each of them should have equal access to opportunities. At this point, their goal is to strive to minimize inequality of opportunity. Based on YE\u00c7ED’s mission, we went to Ad\u0131yaman to provide psychosocial support to children in the earthquake zone. Although the sole mission of the association that set out with this desire was to take care of children, unfortunately, there were very few institutions in Ad\u0131yaman and there was no proper functioning. Since I had prepared myself for the worst before going, I always felt the responsibility of representing YE\u00c7ED in moments of difficulty. The ten days I was in the earthquake zone were rare times in my life when I felt that I was really doing something.<\/p>


Can you tell us about an event you witnessed in the earthquake zone that affected you?<\/strong><\/article>
Adiyaman Tent City No. 1 is mostly inhabited by Syrian earthquake victims. The racism we encountered here was so high that I couldn’t get over it for a long time. I witnessed children who were denied health services by institutions just because of their race. This is something that does not fit neither humanity nor the Hippocratic oath. Because we were wearing association vests, earthquake victims did not see the tolerance and respect shown to us by both state institutions and NGOs in the region. You can see the difference in status even between the earthquake victims in the container city and the earthquake victims in the tent city. Unfortunately, even people who have nothing left have status concerns.<\/article>
<\/article>

<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>What is the most important thing to know while working in the field?<\/strong>

The most important thing that a volunteer who goes to the field should definitely know is that they are not the subject. You don’t go there to be someone’s hero. It should not be forgotten that you are only there for a certain period of time to reinforce your well-being. Of course, you have to prioritize your own well-being in this whole process.<\/p><\/article>

<\/article>
What did you do in the field, how do you evaluate the disaster?<\/strong>

I did photography in the field, children love to be photographed. I have been a photographer for six years, but I took the most valuable shots here, very special shots for me. We also distributed food in the earthquake zone, took care of children, and took people who needed to go to the hospital urgently to the hospital. In short, we did whatever was needed in the field. Of course, it was very good that there were NGOs there. But contrary to appearances, NGOs were not working in peace there. I think people’s voices were not fully heard because this situation was closed with great pressure. It is a pleasure to be good for people. We need to remember that each of us is an earthquake survivor candidate. These people were no different from us. Each of them had families, homes and routine lives. Until February 6. No matter how much time passes, I think we should all work big and small to heal these wounds.<\/p><\/article>
