After the success of the first charity auction held last July, Durán Arte y Subastas will host a second edition auctioning 35 works that Iberia has donated to Envera, an association founded by employees of the airline 40 years ago and which currently serves 2,500 people with disabilities.

On this occasion, the "Suite Iberia" collection by José Manuel Ciria stands out, which will be auctioned together with works such as "Los viajeros" by Luis Canogar, "Esfera" by Juan Genovés, "Aproximación" by Lucio Muñoz or "El viajero" by Eduardo Úrculo, which are part of the art collection that Iberia has compiled throughout its almost 90 years of history.

We can all be the best at something. With the necessary resources, there are no insurmountable obstacles to achieving full labor integration for people with disabilities. That was the opportunity Yeray Valencia found, and it was enough for him to demonstrate his abilities and have a job that has transformed his life.

When in October 2009 Yeray completed the first training course of the Seed Project developed by Envera in Tenerife, a world of professional possibilities began for him, which a month later materialized in a stable job as a gardening operator at Envera. Until then he had never had a job.

The General Director of Envera, Pedro Sobrino, will lead the Employment and Disability Roundtable of the Madrid Business Forum with the aim of bringing the Madrid business community closer to the social and labor reality that people with disabilities experience on a daily basis.

For Sobrino, "this is an excellent opportunity for Envera to contribute its experience in the insertion of people with disabilities in ordinary companies, something that the Association has been doing for almost forty years, and which is a matter of social justice and equal opportunities for both individuals and companies".

The Director of Support and Care Services, Ana Magalló, together with a representation of beneficiaries and professionals from the Occupational Center and the Residence for people over 45 years of age, represented Envera - Association of Iberia Employees Parents of People with Disabilities in the visit to AKI's facilities in Colmenar Viejo where the donation of tools and equipment that will contribute to making Envera's new ecological project possible took place.

Pedro Sobrino, Envera's CEO, has described as a "great success" the charity auction "El viaje de la vida" (The journey of life), made up of 55 paintings by great international artists who have accompanied Iberia throughout its history, and which took place last Thursday 21st with the fundamental collaboration of Durán Arte y Subastas. Sobrino thanked the airline company, patron of the entity, and Consuelo Durán for their support "because these funds are a great help to continue advancing in the creation of employment for people with disabilities as well as in their care and that of their families, through our Support and Care Services".

Pedro Núñez Morgades, new member of Envera's Board of Trustees, visited this Tuesday the Entity's centers in Colmenar Viejo together with José Antonio Quintero, President of Envera - Asociación de Empleados de Iberia Padres de Personas con Discapacidad (Association of Iberia Employees Parents of People with Disabilities).

With this visit, Núñez Morgades wanted to know in person the daily activities carried out by the beneficiaries and professionals of the Residence for the prematurely aged 45 years old and over, the Residence for the seriously affected, the Guardianship Foundation, the Special Employment Center, Sports and the Day and Occupational Center.

The funds raised will be donated in full to Envera, an association that was founded by airline employees almost 40 years ago and is currently open to the whole of society and serves 2,500 people with disabilities.
