La Junta de Semana Santa de Ávila entrega más de 3.100 euros a Manos Unidas tras el éxito del Bocata Solidario

The Board of Holy Week of Ávila delivered 3,161 euros to Manos Unidas following a fundraising event called the Solidarity Sandwich. Francisco Trullén, president of the Board, presented the funds to representatives from the local Manos Unidas delegation.

The money was raised last Friday through the sale of solidarity tickets for 3 euros each. Volunteers from various brotherhoods and Manos Unidas managed four distribution tables at the Mercado Grande, Mercado Chico, Plaza de Granada, and Avenida Juan Pablo II. While the event specifically targeted secondary school students during their break, residents of all ages participated.

Manos Unidas will use the full amount to fund a development project in Delhi, India. The project aims to improve health and nutrition for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children under five years old to combat anemia and malnutrition in vulnerable areas of the region.
