Fundación Cajacírculo has delivered three checks, worth 5,000 euros each, to the ELACyL Associations, Atalaya Intercultural and Proyecto Rubare, beneficiaries of the “Belén Solidario” initiative.
During the event, held this morning in the Pedro Torrecilla Exhibition Hall, the President of the Cajacírculo Foundation, Emilio de Domingo, the General Director of the entity, Laura Sebastian; accompanied by the representatives of the Associations benefited in this campaign: Julian de Pedro, President of the ELACyL Association, together with Elena Maeso; Jaime Burgos of Atalaya Intercultural; and Francisco Javier Martinez and López Vivar presentation, President and Honorary President of RUBARE Project – KIVU JAMBO.
The objective of this novel initiative, within the program of activities of the 62 Christmas Campaign of Fundación Cajacírculo, was to make the visit to the traditional Artistic Nativity Scene also serve as an opportunity to collaborate, and to involve visitors in three solidarity projects proposed by these associations:
- “Growing Together” by Atalaya Intercultural, on the accompaniment of minors and immigrant families of a socio-educational nature.
- “Every second counts” from ELACyL, the Association of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis of Castilla y León, which aims to support the therapies offered to those affected by this terrible disease to improve their quality of life.
- “Burgos con Africa” of the RUBARE Project, a cooperation initiative that will allow to start up a school in Jdvii, Republic of the Congo.
To do this, Fundación Cajacírculo agreed to donate the amount of 5 euros on behalf of each person who took a photograph on the portals of the associations that described their solidarity project, and published it on their Instagram or Facebook profile with the hagstag # BelénSolidario. In addition, there was the opportunity for all participants to win one of the 4 Samsung Galaxy Tablets through a raffle.
The result of this novel initiative has been marked by the difficulties and capacity limitations derived from the restrictions imposed by the health authorities due to the pandemic and bad weather, but even so, from the Foundation we are very satisfied with the number of photographs hung for all three projects.
Due to such exceptional circumstances and despite not having reached the limit set for each association, Fundación Cajacírculo has agreed to donate the full amount proposed as a target for each of them (€ 5,000), and that represents a total of 15,000 euros, thanking to all visitors their collaboration.
In the words of the President of Fundación Cajacírculo, “Our entity continues to show its most supportive side, and the delivery of these checks are yet another proof that the values of commitment and solidarity drive us to move forward as a benchmark entity in our city, and they are a priority in our strategic plan. “
The three Associations chosen for this solidarity initiative are a small sample of the great work that the Burgos associative fabric carries out throughout the year, not only in the city, but also transcends the international arena.
“In addition to the financial aid, we are proud that this” Belén Solidario “initiative has served to give visibility to these associations and that the whole of Burgos can learn about their most urgent projects and needs”.
