ASHA-KIRAN AT YOUTH WEEK IN TORREJON

Youth Week, organized by the local government of Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid) with the collaboration of different youth groups, provides to young and old alike the opportunity to experience some memorable experiences during seven consecutive days. Many and varied leisure and cultural activities, workshops, sports, concerts, exhibitions, competitions, scavenger hunts, etc., make up the program of this event, which is already a benchmark both locally and regionally.


On Sunday April 10, Fundación Asha-Kiran participated at this Solidarity Arena within the framework of Youth Week. A young crowd gathered at the amusement park to enjoy a music and dance Festival where they also had the chance to find out about the social work done by several NGOs through the information booths located in the Solidarity Arena.


Asha-Kiran’s stand organized a Workshop on Education for Aid to Development as well as several activities to raise awareness about the plight of vulnerable children in India. Many young people participated, wishing to become acquainted with Asha-Kiran’s work and contribute, in one way or another, through Volunteering activities.



Our THANKS to the City of Torrejón for providing this public space for participation; our thanks to Andrea and Bruno, who joined us this afternoon, for their dedication and support to Asha-Kiran’s endeavour of building a suitable world for children.
