- This amount, more than double that of the previous edition, is the highest raised to date
The youngest children of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell are well aware of the meaning of solidarity. The students of CEIP Santa María Magdalena have been raising funds for different causes for the last three years through their charity run, and this year they had it clear: the money raised had to go to those affected by the DANA.
Specifically, and having two teachers from Algemesí, a municipality that has been severely affected by the floods, they have decided to partner with the Blasco Ibáñez school in this town so that children like them can return back to normal as soon as possible and repair all the damage that the flood caused to their school.
So, this Thursday, the streets of the town centre of Benitatxell were turned into a running circuit in which sport, sympathy, family and music were combined. And what a success the initiative has been this year. They have managed to raise 3,105 euros, twice as much as last year, when they collaborated with the associations CPEE Gargasindi and Condenados al Bordillo, and 1,000 euros more than in 2022, when they donated the funds to the association for research against childhood leukaemia One in a hundred thousand.
With different routes according to age, all the school classes took part in the event, from Kindergarten to Sixth Grade, as well as the teaching staff and the children’s families.
Both the school management and the Councillorship of Education and Childhood, in charge by Jorge Pascual, thanked all the participants for their contribution to this great cause, and also thanked the Local Police and Civil Protection for their collaboration.
