1st. Solidarity Collection of School Material 2018

Busquets Gruart S.A., a manufacturer and distributor of school supplies and social media articles since 1921, has made a donation in September 2018 to be delivered to the "Ecole Primaire Yati de Thiobon" in Senegal.

Initially, I wanted to send the material to the "Saint Coeur de Marie" school in Fadiouth. I had been there personally, I had the opportunity to detect their lacks and was able to exchange impressions with the director; but I have not been able to find any foundation or NGO to help me get the material there.

It took me 10 months to know "Acció Solidària del Vallés". It is an international cooperation association with less developed countries. It has been created in 2006 within the framework of the Caravana Solidària of Barcelona and in 2008 they were already established as an independent entity. Its activity is focused on Senegal carrying out reforms in different schools, creating computer rooms, developing agricultural activity and providing sanitary material for hospital centers. They will take all the material (except backpacks) to Senegal next March 2020.

The backpacks, thanks to "Foundawtion", have gone to the high school "CEM Kamanar" that opened the doors on October 10, 2019 in Thionck Essyl (huge coincidence because it is where they also go "Les Meduses" to do medical interventions ). Foundawtion is an architecture studio created in 2014 to cover architectural needs in economically disadvantaged areas.

I really appreciate the sensitivity of Busquets Gruart S.A. Acció Solidària del Vallés i Foundawtion. People like them help me keep moving these initiatives forward.

I will keep you informed of the evolution!
