In collaboration with

"Together we are stronger" on Radio Terrícola. Program 44


Madrid | May 19, 2020

The 44th program has been full of solidarity on all four sides: from the solidarity developed by companies and foundations that make initiatives such as Envera possible, to the solidarity exercised by beneficiaries who collaborate in helping their own colleagues, without forgetting the solidarity role played by partners and friends.

SUSANA POSADA, head of communications and CSR at Leroy Merlin, after reporting that they have now opened to the general public, said that during the closure they have not stopped putting the social focus on helping vulnerable people, collaborating as suppliers at the national level. "If this pandemic has taught us anything, it is that if we collaborate together the impact is greater", since "between all of us we can make a more inclusive and fairer society". David Ferrero thanked him for the contribution made to Envera of 150 waterproof suits and 7,000 tights, among other donations, noting that it has been a great example of collaboration. "We listen to everyone and try to meet all the needs in this crisis," concluded the guest who received the first applause of the earthly morning for her empathy, generosity and immense solidarity. Thank you, Leroy Merlin.

The MUSIC that followed the first applause dedicated to this collaborating company, stirred feelings with its very current lyrics: "No se te ocurre pensar que te vas a rendir..." (Don't ever think that you're going to give up...) interpreted and composed by Cristina Rubio.

MARCOS GONZÁLEZ, president of Corresponsables (the foundation that in 2015 awarded the Corresponsables Prize to Radio Terrícola, Envera's radio station), began by acknowledging the emotional change that the pandemic has meant for him. He then commented that it is good to worry, but it is better to take care, to act: "we have been working like never before. We have published 1,200 news items. Because his work consists of publicizing initiatives such as those carried out by Envera "to make a more sustainable and fairer world". It was very important to know that the 11th Call for Awards is still open for small organizations that do not have a voice in the traditional media, which are chosen by a jury of 75 Spanish-speaking academics. He did not fail to give a scoop: "while last year there were 600 applicants, now there are more than 850 organizations submitted to date". "All are welcome," he said, after pointing out that more media are needed to disseminate the work of these organizations because it is essential to spread the word about what you do "so that it goes further". To the anonymous question of a listener about whether the solidarity of now will be a flower of a day, Marcos Gonzalez has responded categorically that no: "now it is more necessary than ever, but it does not end here, you make the road as you go". And he received the second round of applause of the day.

ISABEL ALONSOspoke about the origin of riddles and how they have spread around the world as popular riddles. She gave us homework with several clues to solve today's riddle: soldiers without swords, cemetery birds or cooking without fire,which we will find out at the end of the program.

JUAN CARLOS MOÑINO, beneficiary of Envera, has intervened from his home, where he helps his mother and talks to his partner Cristina Almaraz, to tell us that he is looking forward to leaving the "rocket". He has told of his work helping in the dining room to the children of the Fuente Santa School and has shown concern for the signing of the contract when the activity resumes and, above all, for what will have happened to his robe and uniform during his absence. Because, dear listeners, life goes on and is entangled in these domestic challenges that bring us back to pure normality, without further appellations. In the end he told us that he is very bored, but "we will have to find another rocket". Let's see.

ISABEL ALONSOagainappears before the microphones of Radio Terricola to give the solution to the riddle.

It is "the bee", which pricks without a sword, manufactures wax used in wakes and "cooks" honey without making fire.

This was the riddle:

Tell me who will be a soldier,

so little spirited and strong,

that comes with an assembled lance,

and if, on the contrary, it has happened

himself gives himself death.

In case this has not given you too many clues, I continue with another proposal:

Student you studied

in the books of love,

what is the bird that flies

without guts or heart,

that gives comfort to the dead

and to the living it gives flavor?

And here is the third one, which to me is the one that has given me the most clues:

I am wise and I did not have school,

for me there was no doctrine,

I am a cooking teacher

and I cook without candle

So, between riddles and friends, the time has passed in another radio day where, in addition to having a great time and learning a lot, we demonstrate every day that "Together we are stronger". Tomorrow, more.
