With the aim of raising funds to complete the construction of the roof of the main field of the Miguel Riofrío Basic Education School, valued at approximately USD 45,000; A group of alumni of this institution is organizing the radio marathon called “Unidos”, which is scheduled for May 31.
Francisco Montaño, member of the production team that collaborates with “Miguelinos para Siempre”, an organization made up of alumni of the Miguel Riofrío School, explains that they are carrying out this initiative in order to provide the new generation of Miguelinos with a covered space , where they can carry out their school and recreational activities, either on rainy days or during periods of high temperatures.
The radio marathon will begin at 08:00 on Friday, May 31 in the lobby of the Municipality of Loja, with various artistic and cultural activities. In addition, there will be personnel in charge of receiving donations from citizens who wish to contribute. Likewise, as a gesture of gratitude, at night, the former Miguelinos will hold an artistic show in the Plaza de San Sebastián, hoping to provide a pleasant moment to those attending.
According to Francisco, the construction of the roof began several months ago, but due to a lack of support, it was interrupted; However, the alumni have decided to resume the work through self-management. Thus, currently, the construction already has the foundations of the roof.
