Solidarity initiatives multiply in the municipality of The Realejos as Christmas approaches. An example of this are two actions disclosed yesterday by the Realejero City Council: Ampadrina for the elderly, which looks for people willing to collaborate with gifts for the elderly in a situation of economic vulnerability or loneliness, and Peones Solidarios, which helps 17 royal households with cylinders also in financial need.
Representatives of the Albertiana Family Movement, linked to the Pureza de María School in Los Realejos, visited the City Hall, where they were received by the mayor, Adolfo González, and the Councilor for Social Welfare, Olga Jorge, in order to coordinate the Ampadrina initiative for the elderly . In the same way that for more than a decade Los Realejos has promoted the Ampadrina an illusion action for children, the objective of the new solidarity initiative Ampadrina for the elderly is to also collaborate with the elderly in the municipality with few resources, and especially with those in a situation of solitude, so that they also do not lack a gift this Christmas.
The Councilor for Social Welfare explained yesterday that “just like with Ampadrina an illusion, the initiative will start from the voluntariness of godfathers and godmothers who, in coordination with the municipal social services and a team of volunteers from Seniors in Solitude, They will direct their help to certain profiles of older people who, based on a technical report from the area, our social workers understand are likely to receive these solidarity gifts at Christmas”.
Those people interested in collaborating with the initiative have until the next day 20 . They should go to the Pureza de María School from Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. or on Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or to the headquarters of the Good Neighbors Association of San Benito on Mondays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The telephone number 667 357 205 is provided as a direct contact for more information. Albertian Family is a movement of shared action that is promoted from all the Pureza de María centers in Europe, America and Africa, which tries to integrate former students, parents and staff of these schools, and develop evangelization and social action projects .
Adolfo González and Olga Jorge also received the president of the Al Shah Mat Club and Los Realejos Chess School, José Carlos de León, who came to deliver 17 Bonbon Bonuses to be allocated to families with special needs in the municipality, with Technical report from your social services.
The initiative is part of the charity tournament Peones solidarios, organized by this club last November, within the programming of Los Realejos por la Solidaridad, in collaboration with the Department of Youth. Through the collections from registration and voluntary contributions, we proceeded to acquire these bottle Bonds.
According to Adolfo González, “Los Realejos, its people and its associative and sports fabric always show signs of social involvement, and this is further clear proof, that of a club that, on its own initiative, wanted to join the Los Realejos project for the Solidarity”.
