The Javea Hiking Centre (CEX), renowned for its commitment to fostering values such as solidarity, community support, and assistance for those in need, launched a heartfelt campaign collecting essential school supplies for the schools in Catarroja.
This region has been severely affected by the recent DANA, leaving many children without the necessary resources for their education.
Since October 30, numerous dedicated members of the CEX have been actively travelling to Catarroja to participate in vital aid efforts. As the local community anticipates the reopening of schools at the beginning of December, the club has rallied support for the children by gathering a variety of essential items. They specifically sought donations of books, folders, pens, pencils, markers, rulers, backpacks, and other crucial educational materials that were lost or damaged during the flooding.
School supplies were personally delivered to Catarroja
The collection of these school supplies took place over two days: Wednesday November 20, and Thursday, November 21. Donations were accepted at the Excursionist Centre’s headquarters, located in the historical former homes of the Graull school teachers. The collected materials were personally delivered to the schools in Catarroja on Saturday November 23. This ensured that all donated items reached the affected families without any intermediaries, thereby maximising the impact of each contribution.
