Cáritas, August 11, 2023.- On the occasion of the festivities in honor of the Virgin of La Palma, the Information Commission for Citizen Participation and Fair and Festivals of the Algeciras City Council has recognized entities and people who carry out activities in favor of the city. Among the entities and people chosen this year to receive the 2023 Palm Medals is José Miguel Carreño del Campo, volunteer and interparish coordinator of Cáritas in Algeciras. With this mention, the City Council pays tribute to the tireless work and generous dedication of these volunteers, who have been a fundamental pillar in supporting and helping the most vulnerable people in the city.
Cáritas volunteers in Algeciras make efforts daily to bring hope and solidarity to those who need it most. For decades, shelter and support have been provided to families and people in vulnerable situations, through parishes, contributing to the promotion of social well-being and the fight against social inequality.
The recognition that the City Council offers to Cáritas Algeciras is a show of gratitude and admiration for the valuable contribution they have made to our society. Their selfless love and constant dedication have made a significant difference in the lives of many people and have contributed to making Algeciras a more humane and caring place.
José Miguel Carreño expressed his gratitude at the event “to the mayor and the councilors for having decided and voted for this award for me. I come on behalf of Cáritas, and thanks to the entire group that we make up, they allow me to do some things. Thanks to my collaborators and the volunteers of the parish Cáritas that we have in Algeciras”. Finally, Carreño thanked his family for their support and thanked the people of Algeciras for their solidarity and generosity.
These distinctions that the City Council grants each year on the occasion of the Patron Saint Festivities in Honor of the Patroness and Perpetual Mayor of Algeciras, Our Lady of La Palma, were presented within the framework of an institutional event, chaired by the mayor of Algeciras, José Ignacio Landaluce.
