Madrid | June 1, 2020
We are already in June, getting back to normality and, more importantly, to employment. It is necessary to get our strength back at breakfast, as the beneficiaries do, who on Saturday had pancakes. Even music is restorative and many artists are giving us all their energy. Shots of life so that body and mind are strengthened.
BERNABÉ BLANCO, president of AEDIS (Business Association for Disability), has been the first to speak, just while in the Canary Islands were made in-person examinations of training courses. In his presentation he has valued the great effort being made by organizations involved in the employment of people with intellectual disabilities, which continues to maintain the 80% of those hired, and that the circumstances are difficult. David Ferrero brought up the Envera clean room, which is contributing to the manufacture of disinfectant gels. "The subsidy that Envera received has been used very well and is paying off," said Bernabé. But the role of AEDIS is not only to promote funds and investments to facilitate employment, but also to invest in innovation "because we can't stop at basic initiatives. In addition to the training model we have in place, other initiatives are needed so that we are not left out of the game. His words were capped by the first round of applause in June, dedicated to his association.
Andrés Grajera, Envera's psychologist, took the microphone around the dining room to make us envious of the opulent breakfast that the beneficiaries of Envera's Integral Disability Center had on Saturday. Nothing less than pancakes, most of them covered with caramel and with the drawing of a heart (in case it helps to make them more heart-healthy). It was clear that the kids enjoyed them.
MARIO DÍAZ, singer and composer, has spoken from Vigo, where he was caught by the state of alert, but without losing sight of his native Cordoba. That is why he has taken advantage of his forced confinement, after testing positive for Covid19, to dedicate to his Andalusian city and its people a "toast", the title of his new song, with which he has helped the Cordoba Platform, donating the royalties: "we artists do what we can to add up". Now safe and sound, he misses the live performances, "our careers are supported by the public and we need it to continue. Feeling the watts, that feeling that floods you inside on stage is very difficult to replace". Don't worry, everything will come. Like that second visit he has promised us to see him up close once again. Although we can follow him on his website www.mariodiaz.es
BELÉN HERNÁNDEZ, Iberia's digital volunteer in Envera, has taken us to Zamora, "an open-air museum", to remind us that today is Pentecost Monday and a great pilgrimage would take place in honor of the Virgin of La Concha, which travels about seven kilometers to Iniesta. And as Zamora was not won in an hour (it took 7 months to break that siege), he has proposed several visits to the city. From the cathedral to the castle through its 22 Romanesque churches. Some visits that Belén has advanced us and that proposes to leave them in the hands of professional guides who explain them wonderfully, and with a lot of passion. For those who dare, know that Zamora is 259 km. from Madrid and you only need to take the road to La Coruña and turn off at Tordesillas; a comfortable shoe and run.
AMADEO MELER, Envera's Sports Director, has been pleased to hear the repercussion obtained by his last interview with Saúl Craviotto, an example of humility. And speaking of the reflections made by the next Olympic flag-bearer on failure, Amadeo recalled the phrase "you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have left", a whole ideology to be engraved on your skin. Intimately, he told us about the weekend spent with his family in the countryside where he was able to follow, with a spyglass view, a kite in its nest, an oriole, a black vulture, which kept a watchful eye on them, and a woodpecker, which almost killed the lamp post. Jesús de Frutos can attest, he has the photos, but the rest will have to wait for Terrícola television, anything can happen.
He closed the program with a round of applause from the last corner of the heart for the reunions of friends and family who have starred this weekend.
A great radio day to inaugurate the month of summer. Now all that remains is to be alert, dear radio operators, because tomorrow there will be more.
