As you know, it is not the institutional policy of URI to support the Circles of Cooperation with fondos. However, in the Asamblea Regional de Chile 2014, the possibility of providing some type of support to promote initiatives of the CCs that need support, given the socio-economic and cultural characteristics of other Latin American and Caribbean communities, was planted. It is for this reason that you have been included in the URIALC Region 2015 for the first time, a section for the APORTE SOLIDARIO program, a new line of support for CCs as a symbolic way of rewarding and supporting those CCs he is actively working in his localities for the construction of interreligious dialogue, the culture of peace and the healing of mother earth.
