Ufopa opens 'Solidarity Christmas' campaign to benefit 130 children in rural Santarém

The campaign receives donations of school materials, toys, musical instruments, sporting goods and financial resources. On the delivery day, scheduled for December 4th, volunteers will distribute the kits and carry out environmental education activities, planting trees at the school and revitalizing the community garden, with the closing of the Iurupari Theater group.

To raise the necessary resources to purchase the materials, the organizers scheduled three charity bazaars with the sale of used clothing, footwear and electronics in good condition. The first bazaar takes place on November 6th, starting at 6pm, at Praça Tiradentes. The other two editions will be on the 13th and 19th of November, at 11:30 am, at the Ufopa University Restaurant.

Anyone who wants to let go of objects and clothes to help with the bazaars can deliver donations until November 18th. Donations of toys and school materials can be delivered until December 3rd. Items must be left at the Ibef Technical Coordination, located in room 135C of the BMT 2 building, on the Tapajós Campus, from Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm.

The solidarity program also includes a charity feijoada on November 12th, at 11:30 am, at the Tapajós Unit, and the draw for a R$200 prize via Pix on December 1st. All fundraising is coordinated by professor Andrea Krystina Vinente Guimarães. More information can be obtained by email or on the project's official Instagram profile.
