The activity continued at the Sierra del Brezo hostel, in Velilla del Río Carrión, with a dynamic on “Creativity for Volunteering” and ended on Sunday with the “Tejeda de Tosande” route in the Sierra del Brezo.
After the musical reception at the facilities of the Musical Association of Guardo (AMGu) and the institutional opening with the presence of representatives of the local, provincial and regional administration. The event closed with a surprise videotaped greeting from our great friend Leo Harlem.
Volunteering is fundamental as a complement to the professional work that is carried out on a daily basis in all the centers and services of Fundación Personas, where it is mixed with what the people with disabilities themselves offer to transform attitudes, spaces, actions, social participation and other multiple achievements that help to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and promote new opportunities for development.
Guardo has been the ideal host place, where to enjoy its wonderful natural environment and the hospitality and kindness of its people.
As we approach December 5, International Volunteer Day, let us congratulate ourselves and continue to create together a cutting-edge connection with our social environment.
