00:12has received with deep gratitude and renewed optimism
00:15President Luis Abinader's support for its expansion projects.
00:19A donation of 28 million pesos was authorized by the President
00:23to boost its infrastructure and educational mission in Azua.
00:26This contribution, managed with the support of the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology,

00:36represents a strategic investment in the future of the southern region.
00:40The funds will allow for the construction of two transformative projects.
00:45A multi-purpose sports facility, which much more than a space for sports,
00:49will be a social and cultural meeting point for students and the Azua community,
00:53promoting healthy living and social cohesion,
00:55and a warehouse on the Faculty of Agronomy's experimental farm,
01:00equipping future professionals with state-of-the-art facilities for internships

01:45between the executive branch, academia, and the persistent call of the press.
01:50It is a model to follow.
