hosted students from Hatay İncirli Primary School, who made a volleyball net out of onion bags, at

their match against Eczacıbaşı DYNAVIT on Sunday, January 5, in Izmir. After seeing videos of children

making volleyball nets on social media, Aras Kargo contacted the school and invited the children to

Izmir to watch training sessions and volleyball matches, with the aim of making a difference in their

lives and giving them unforgettable memories. The students, who arrived in İzmir a day before the

match, enjoyed two exciting days. Visiting the players at the Atatürk Volleyball Hall Vestel Sports

Complex, the students met with the Aras Kargo Women's Volleyball Team. After watching the

training session and playing volleyball with the players, they explored İzmir and took a tour around

the city.

Among those who watched the match with the children were: Aras Kargo General Manager, Board

Member and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Aras Kargo Sports Club Utku Ayyarkın; Aras Kargo

Deputy General Manager of Marketing, Corporate Communications, and Customer Experience and

Board Member of Aras Kargo Sports Club Billur Kaymak Burkutoğlu; and Aras Kargo Chief Legal

Ayyarkın: “Sharing our children's happiness brings us joy.”

Aras Kargo General Manager Utku Ayyarkın made a statement before the match, saying, “As Aras

Kargo, we have been supporting Turkish sports for many years at both the federation and club levels.

Believing in the unifying power of sports, we value the passion for volleyball in our country. Along

with our support for sports and our athletes, we also make a difference in the lives of children.

Recently, we were deeply moved by a video we saw on social media of students in Hatay playing

volleyball with nets made from onion bags. After seeing the children's enthusiasm in the video, we

invited them to our match in Izmir to share in their joy and help them create unforgettable

memories. We watched the match together with the children from Hatay, sharing in their

excitement. Building a bridge to the dreams of our children, who are our future through volleyball,

has been a great source of happiness and motivation for us. We would also like to thank the Turkish

Volleyball Federation for their support and for making it possible for us to come together with our

children. As Aras Kargo, we will continue our efforts to promote sports across our country, with a

particular focus on our younger generation.”

Aras Kargo General Manager Utku Ayyarkın made these beautiful moments even more memorable

by presenting students and teachers with gifts such as Aras Kargo Women's Volleyball Team jerseys,

volleyballs, and scarves.
