- El proyecto ha recibido el 'Premio Corazón de Olavidia'
- Envera has been collaborating since 2020 with the shipment of sports equipment and institutional support.
Madrid | May 8, 2024
El pasado 6 de abril Vicente del Bosque, recientemente nombrado presidente de la comisión que supervisará a la RFEF y embajador deportivo de Envera, hacía entrega del Premio 'Corazón de Olavidia', concedido por el Ayuntamiento de Carboneros (Jaén), a Limamou M'bengue por la labor humanitaria que realiza como fundador y director de la Escuela de Fútbol que lleva el nombre del exseleccionador español en Senegal.
Envera representatives were present at the awards ceremony to congratulate and accompany the winner on a very special day.
Envera, an NGO that was born from Iberia 47 years ago and whose main mission is the social and labor inclusion of people with disabilities, maintains a close and permanent collaboration with the soccer school that Lima, as the former Atlético de Madrid player is known, directs in Dakar.
Through its project Alas comprometidas de envíos solidarios, Envera has sent several shipments of sports and school supplies, clothing and other aid to support the project, which has already taken almost a hundred children off the streets, helping them to attend school, and for whom soccer has become a means of inclusion and healthy leisure, but above all, to have a better future.
This work has not been done alone. Envera, which promotes collaboration and alliances to network and help the most vulnerable people, has had the support of Iberia, MAPOMA, the Air Force and Aviación sin Fronteras to help Lima in recent years. An important entity such as Ineco has also joined this solidarity project.
The public engineering company, which reports to the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, has provided its experience and support to perimeterize the site where the children of the Soccer School carry out their sports activities, contributing to their safety and to consolidating and perpetuating the project.
During his last visit to Spain and after collecting the award in Carboneros, Lima was received by the Ineco team, with its Executive Director of Corporate Coordination, Celestino Rodríguez, to evaluate the joint work carried out so far and to study new collaborations to continue supporting the children of the sports center.
Aprovechando el viaje, M'bengue también fue recibido por el director general de Envera, Enrique Grande, y tuvo la oportunidad de compartir una jornada con las personas con discapacidad intelectual de Envera, quienes le preguntaron en los micrófonos de Radio Terrícola por la Escuela de Fútbol.
Finalmente, hace unas semanas Lima volvió a Senegal y no se llevó consigo solo el 'Corazón de Olavidia'. Gracias a Envera y, de nuevo, a la disposición de Iberia, pudo volar con un cargamento de maletas llenas de camisetas, equipaciones, botas de fútbol y, sobre todo, mucha solidaridad. Como la que desprendieron los voluntarios de Iberia y Envera que apoyaron a Lima para trasladar la carga hasta el aeropuerto y a lo largo del viaje hasta su destino: una escuela de fútbol que es una segunda oportunidad para los que, prácticamente, no tienen nada.
