UNICO National, the largest Italian American Service Organization in the United States, wishes to thank all those who have contributed to the L'Aquila Earthquake Relief Effort. Building on its previous experiences, UNICO has harnessed the energies of its dedicated members to raise funds and take a lead position in providing relief for disaster victims in the Abruzzo region. The initial funds collected have been used for distributing food, blankets, hygiene items and clothes.
UNICO is now in the second phase of providing Earthquake relief, to residents of the province of L’Aquila, in the Abruzzo region. Among the casualties of this disaster were the shattered hopes of 27,000 students of the University of L’Aquila, who were displaced as their university lost buildings and had to close its doors.
These students need help and UNICO, building on its long tradition and strong commitment to helping young people fulfill their academic potential and pursue their dreams is dedicated to providing an answer.
Your donation is going toward assisting these students through either books, supplies and temporary buildings enabling them to continue with their studies while the university is being rebuilt.
Once again thank you so much for you contribution.
