BordoMaviNet (BMN) members conducted a comprehensive aid campaign in the summer of 2008 for the General Fevzi Türkeri Primary School in Şenoba town, Uludere district, Şırnak. The campaign was initiated by Ahmet Haşim Badur (Badaloğlu) on June 19, 2008, via the BMN forum, following a call for help from the school principal. İsmail Çavuşoğlu also made a significant contribution to the organization.
The school had approximately 550–560 students and 14 teachers. According to the administration, the building was a prefabricated structure built in 2002; heating, physical inadequacies, and a shortage of educational materials were among the main problems. Urgent needs included painting and shelving for a 30-square-meter library, a projector, a photocopier, a power supply, books, and stationery.
As of August 2008, cash donations recorded within the scope of the campaign amounted to approximately 5,700 YTL. 1,800 YTL was transferred to the school administration for library cabinets. In addition, equipment such as encyclopedias and book boxes, a photocopier, printer, scanner, power supply, and medicine cabinet were donated. The stationery sets collected under the name "Kind-hearted people" included 500 drawing notebooks and 550 each of pencils, crayons, watercolors, pencil sharpeners, and erasers.
According to information provided on September 1, 2008, school bags and basic stationery supplies were sent to 560 students; 600 Turkish flags were delivered. Chalkboards were replaced with whiteboards in all eight classrooms. Library cabinets had been made a month earlier, and the books sent were already being placed on the shelves.
