- An initiative of the Envera Solidarity Recycling Center with the collaboration of MAPOMA and the Armed Forces.
- This is the second shipment that Envera donates to its sister school in Senegal.
Madrid | June 11, 2021
The NGOs Envera and Aviación Sin Fronteras have sent a very special shipment to the "Vicente del Bosque" Soccer School, created by the former Atlético de Madrid player Limamou "Lima" M'Bengue, a native of Dakar, and in which more than ninety children participate, for whom soccer has become a means of inclusion and healthy leisure but, above all, to have a better future.
A dozen suitcases full of sports equipment donated by the MAPOMA Sports Association are in addition to the first shipment made by Envera and Iberia last October. In total, more than 700 technical shirts, full tracksuits, backpacks, caps and raincoats are already available to the athletes of the Senegalese school sponsored since its inception by the former national team coach Vicente del Bosque, ambassador of the thirty years of inclusive sport in Envera.
For Envera, a social entity dedicated since 1977 to the social and labor inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, networking with other organizations and developing this type of circular economy projects allow progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
In fact, given the current health situation caused by the coronavirus and the travel restrictions in many countries, the solidarity shipment has not been easy and has finally become a reality thanks to the support of Aviación Sin Fronteras, the Defense General Staff Operations Command and the Air Force, which have made possible the shipment to Senegal, and the Marfil Detachment, which has delivered the material to Lima.
The Ivory Detachment, whose main mission is to contribute to the transport of the capabilities of several countries to support the fight against terrorism in Mali, also carries out important humanitarian work in Senegal, where it is currently based.
From Spain, the Envera Solidarity Recycling Center, which employs four people with disabilities, has been in charge of preparing all the sports equipment for shipment.
And to celebrate, a good friendly match of the Vicente del Bosque School in Senegal with the #DestacamentoMarfil for inclusion and equal opportunities.@ASFSPAIN @AD_MAPOMA @EjercitoAire #JuntosSomosMásFuertes pic.twitter.com/JvB8RexFLD
