La Fundació supporting Play4Africa
Xavi Tauler
Barca’s Fundació has made a donation of 200 footballs to the Solidarity Caravan Play4Africa which has been stationed at the Nou Camp. All donations will be shared out between XICS Malawi and Rwandan refugees.
The Solidarity Caravan, which aims to collect balls and boots for African children, was stationed at the Nou Camp during the Getafe game. The organisers aim to give all African children the right to play football and all the material they are collecting will go to XICS Malawi and the refugee camps run by UNHCR on the continent where the Fundació works.
The
Director General of the Fundació, Marta Segú, stressed the importance of collaborating with these
kinds of projects: “La Fundació del Barça, has an agreement with UNHCR which we signed a
couple of years ago and so we are constantly helping with projects to support refugees as well as
fighting Malaria, AIDS and water related illnesses”.
Before arriving at the Nou Camp, the Caravan has been travelling around La Liga grounds, stopping in Pamplona, Valencia and Seville amongst others, to take donations.
Team chip in
The first team squad, through its captain Carles Puyol have also made their donation –
presenting the ball used in training last Wednesday as an example of what can be done and to
collaborate with the solidarity campaign.
