COLLABORATION WITH PROACTIVA OPEN ARMS

The NGO Proactiva Open Arms has visited us at Rosa Oriol Anguera primary school. We collaborate with them in their School's Awareness Program.

Proactiva Open Arms is a non-governmental, non-profit organization whosemain mission is to rescue refugees from the sea that arrive to Europe fleeing wars, persecution or poverty. Born from a rescue and first aid at sea company with extensive experience in the Spanish coasts.

We specialize in surveillance and rescue missions of boats carrying people who need help in the Aegean and Central Mediterranean sea, as well asraising awareness of all the injustices that are happening which have been untold.

Rubén, a volunteer who works at the NGO for more than a year and has participated in 7 maritime rescues, explained us the work they develop and made us reflect on the historical and current migratory movements.

A16 CHARITY EVENTS & A15 - COLLABORATION WITH MIGRANT ASSOCIATIONS

On the fourth day of our mobility, Proactiva Open Arms, an NGO that helps migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean, came to school to explain our partners and students their actions to help these. After the speech, our students and their partners created some pins and bookmarks that they sold in a charity event done in the afternoon, where they also sold cakes that hosting families prepared. 

We gathered 204 euros that we donated the next day to Proactiva Open Arms. Thanks to the families for their help and all of those who came to our charity event and collaborated 

with us!
