I am happy to see the happy faces of the students when they participate, how they organize among themselves defining activities to achieve the objective they have as a team to plant their trees and to see how they start their semester very happy to participate in something that has transcendence," said Ekatherine Acosta, head of Social Commitment.
"Ipersonally like the initiatives that UP has, since I consider myself a person who cares a lotabout theenvironment, water, natural resources, the use of resources, and therefore I find it very interesting that the school gives us the opportunity to go to the forest and plant a tree," shared Jimena Padilla, a volunteer student of Industrial Engineering and Business Innovation.
Throughout these 5 University Reforestations, the Guadalajara Campus has planted 931 trees. We invite you to join these volunteer activities that contribute to the construction of a greener and more humane world, taking care of our world, our home, together.
