Support
In 1940, Jānis Dāvis in his will, bequeathed the land and 5/6 parts of the building at Barona iela 49, Riga, to the University of Latvia to set up a housing for students who were abstainers. The part of the building now owned by the UL is about 3800 m2 large.
We greatly appreciate the generous support to education and development!
