Support
On 11 September 2007, she transferred her real estate "Apiņu mājas" in Malnava, Kārsava municipality, to the University of Latvia, and also gifted to the university her certificates of compensation and privatization.
Her donation in the 2009/2010 academic year enabled seven UL students to receive the scholarship "Ceļamaize 2009" ("Bread for the journey 2009").
We greatly appreciate the generous support to education!
