The demand for financial assistance from various campuses increased this year due to economic struggles resulting from COVID. However, thanks to your generous contributions, we have exceeded our goal of 60k this year and collected 68k USD. It is also the first time that we have hit the highest number of unique donors (138 and counting!), which shows how far we have come along since FAANA was established in 2008. Thank you to all of you who have contributed with your suggestions, time, and money.  |
