The UBCO Student Union has collected $30,000 worth of medical supplies and they'll be sending them to Syria.
Thank You UBCOThank you to the countless volunteers that made the Syrian Medical Relief Drive a success. We collected $30 000 in retail donations and showed how the UBCO community and Kelowna came together. There were countless volunteers and students that took this initiative to heart and made it so powerful. Not only have you shown the refugees in Canada hope, but you have given me hope for our great community. One of my colleagues and friend deserves special recognition. Thank you Fatima Zahra Sentissi for everything you have done. You have shown us brilliancy, work ethic, and compassion.Thank you UBCO. We did it.Romey JaswalVP Internal
