On September 10th, the university's Foundation "Chicos de la Calle" held a special program where they gave hundreds of children 921 school kits with material for their education. These children are part of the foundation's programs: talleres escuela San Patricio (TESPA), Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional San Patricio (UESPA), el programa GOL A.S.O (Domingo Savio, Mi Patio y Don Bosco), Acción Guambra (La Marín, Amazonas, Pisulí e Iñaquito),  Mi Caleta and escuelas públicas de Amaguaña.

Father Sanchez, director of the Foundation, said "these kits are given to children thanks to the commitment and support from everyone who make up this foundation so that boys and girls can grow, study, play and have a decent environment, family and society with values and opportunities."
