The 15 people with disabilities who participated in the planting showed Cifuentes the skills previously acquired in the Huerta Envera of the Integral Center that the Association, which has been working for more than 40 years for the social and labor inclusion of people with disabilities, manages in the town of Madrid.
Quintero wanted to "thank the City Council of Colmenar Viejo, Envera's ally in the inclusion of people with different abilities, for allowing us to demonstrate that we can all be the best at something, also promoting respect for the environment" and the "Community of Madrid for its role as an exemplary administration where several students are doing work experience".
At the end of the activity, all Envera participants received their 2020 Planter's Card from the Colmenar Viejo City Council.
