\u201cThis partnership that is being signed with the University determines that the shelter, both in Boa Vista and in Pacaraima, and the very office of the Fraternidade, serve as a kind of extension of the University Campus, be it in the conduction of internship as well as for the development of knowledge by means of the action of teachers and students. Furthermore, it will bring the opportunity for students to get into contact with the social issues of the refugees, and their consequences in everyday life in Roraima and specially with the selfless and totally voluntary action conducted by all the missionaries and monastics. It is an example of life of service for the common good, which can leave a deep mark in the consciousness of these youths who are graduating to act in the society\u201d, said Mirnuk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
