R. Garcia, SCT(ASCP)CMIAC has recently contacted our Board with news from the University of Puerto Rico, Cytotechnology program. Infrastructure in the area is still in poor shape and students are still in need of the bare necessities.
Here is a link to the student gofundme page. The board is currently working on additional ways we can help in the wake of this disaster, but anything we as individuals can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
Please see the letter we received from Hector below and consider a donation, however small.
Dear
friends,
I
was able to communicate with the Yadiris Lopez Rivera, education
coordinator of the PR school and she gave me an update of the situation of the
school:
-They
re-open the school October 9, the school is located in the Medical center
complex and they have power, however interruptions are frequent. In order to
make up for the lost time classes usually ends a 9 PM and on Saturdays.
-There
facilities did not suffer significant damages like others buildings in
the Medical center complex.
-The
students spend most of the time at the school since there they have power and
running water. Most of them don’t have electricity or running water at their
houses or dorms. The faculty, as much as they can, provide them with bottle
water and food/snacks
Since
they can’t cook at their home for lack of power and a lot of their parents are
unemployed due to the storm.
-The
students created a gofundme link to raise funds to buy food, water and
others necessities . Any help is appreciated, the link is https://www.gofundme.com/estudiantes-citotecnologia-pr-2017
-The email address of Yadiris is Yadiris.lopez1@upr.edu if someone will
like to contact her directly.
Just trying to keep you informed
and any help you can give them will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hector
