Two sporting events raise funds to build a school in Uganda as part of the 12th grade volunteer program.
This week, the school experienced two days full of sport and solidarity with the charity run on Friday and the charity paddle tournament on Saturday, with strong participation from students, families, and teachers.
The charity run, aimed at students from 1st to 6th grade of Primary and PAI 2, took place within the school grounds on a circuit of approximately 500 meters. Throughout the event, participants completed their races in a festive, sporty, and friendly atmosphere. At the end, all students received a fruit juice as recognition for their effort, and the top three finishers in each category were awarded medals.
This activity was supported by Florette, Gallina Blanca and other participating companies, to whom we would like to express our gratitude for their support and involvement. Their contribution was key in providing this healthy refreshment to participants.
Families were able to contribute by purchasing a charity race bib, making voluntary donations, once again showing the strong commitment of the entire school community to solidarity initiatives.
The following day, the charity paddle tournament took over, consolidating a weekend marked by collective involvement and a desire to help. This second event further reinforced the message of solidarity and helped increase the funds raised for the project.
All donations collected will go towards building a proper school in Uganda, called Saint Mary’s, as part of a solidarity project that will culminate this summer. For the second consecutive year, 12th grade students will take part in a volunteer work camp, where they will collaborate directly on-site from June 23 to July 8.
This project not only aims to improve educational infrastructure in a community in need, but also to provide students with a meaningful personal growth experience based on service, coexistence, and social commitment. The organization highlights that family involvement and financial contributions are essential to making this initiative possible.
Those who wish to continue supporting the project can make a donation through the following link.
Each donation directly contributes to creating opportunities for other children.
Through activities like the charity run and paddle tournament, the school continues to promote essential values such as solidarity, effort, and commitment to others, showing that when a whole community comes together, it is possible to make a real impact.
