An initiative of the Envera Solidarity Recycling Center with the collaboration of Iberia, MAPOMA, Aviation Without Borders and the Santo Niño Jesús Charitable Instruction.
Madrid | October 13, 2020
On October 7 at 5:30 p.m., an Iberia plane left Madrid for Senegal with a very special cargo: several suitcases full of sports equipment for the "Del Bosque" Soccer School, created by 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. Since its inception, the initiative has had the support of former national team coach Vicente del Bosque, ambassador of the thirty years of inclusive sport at Envera.
The Envera Solidarity Recycling Center, which employs four people with intellectual disabilities, has been in charge of preparing all the sports equipment donated by the MAPOMA Sports Association: more than 300 technical t-shirts, complete tracksuits, backpacks, caps and raincoats, which are already available for the children of the Senegalese school and which will be joined by a second shipment in the coming weeks.
Given the current health situation caused by the coronavirus and travel restrictions in many countries, the solidarity shipment has not been easy and has finally become a reality with the support of the NGO Aviación Sin Fronteras (ASF Spain), the Instrucción Caritativa Santo Niño Jesús and Iberia, always committed to helping the most vulnerable.
