A group of Swiss and Kurdish children have taken action in solidarity with the victims of the Maraş-centered earthquake that hit North Kurdistan, Turkey and parts of Syria on February 6, claiming tens of thousands of lives.

The children collected donations at their school in the town of Rapperswil-Jona, in the Canton of St. Gallen.

The children said they would give the 250 Francs they collected to the Kurdish Red Crescent, Heyva Sor.
