The European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), through its cooperation office and Social Action Area (OCAS), and in collaboration with the International University of Cuanza(UNIC), the International Ibero-American University of Mexico (UNINI Mexico), the International University Foundation of Colombia (UNINCOL), the International Ibero-American University (UNIB) and the University of La Romana (UNIROMANA), are organising the International Solidarity Campaign to collect toys.
With the aim of mobilizing our community, including students, scholarship holders, collaborators, faculty and family members, we collect toys that will be destined to children in situations of social vulnerability. With this initiative, we seek to stimulate solidarity and community volunteering in order to reinforce everyone’s commitment to society.
Toys are tools that contribute to children’s development: cognitive, physical, emotional and social. As established in children’s rights, play and recreation are recognised as fundamental to the growth of healthy children.
How to participate?
The toy collection takes place from 27 November to 13 December 2024.
FUNIBER is making its offices available so that people interested in participating can donate toys. The universities of the network are also organising spaces for the delivery of donations.
The toys must be new or used (if they are in good condition), preferably educational, ecological and non-violent. Check here for recommendations on which toys to donate.
We will also receive children’s books and school supplies as donations.
Each university will give the donation to a local institution that works with the social care of children in vulnerable situations.
Participate and give the gift of solidarity!
