448 students and 41 vendors from the University of Cauca were the first beneficiaries of the Unicauca “Solidaria” campaign, which was carried out thanks to the voluntary contribution of teachers and administrators to bring support to those who currently require it.

 

With the delivery of grants to students and vendors this week, the first call for the Unicauca “Solidaria” campaign ended, with teachers and administrators contributing from one day to four days of their salary to this social initiative.

"We have nothing but words of thanks and blessing to the university community that supports us in this difficult economic situation due to the Pandemic, that help will serve us and our families a lot right now," said the beneficiaries through of audio and text messages.
