Dopo anni di preparativi e contatti con diversi gruppi e organizzazioni spagnole e di altri Paesi, CJS propone la “Marcia per la solidarietà 2014″, che percorrerà il Paese partendo da diversi luoghi per arrivare tutti insieme a Madrid. Centinaia di singole persone e associazioni hanno aderito e aperto le porte a tutti quelli che vi prendono parte (tra cui scuole, parrocchie, centri sportivi comunali), sostenendo iniziative in villaggi e città, attraverso canti, balli, pitture, e mettendo in scena la vita di Iqbal Masih, ragazzo schiavo assassinato in Pakistan il 16 aprile del 1995 per la lotta per la libertà dalla schiavitù dei minori. Nei luoghi dove passeranno i diversi gruppi, ci saranno attività pubbliche solidali con i bambini schiavi e i disoccupati, teatro, musica, passeggiate in bicicletta, manifestazioni, punti informativi, attività culturali. La Marcia si concluderà a Madrid sabato 26 luglio, con la riunione dei gruppi e la fine congiunta di tutte le attività. (AP) (22/7/2014 Agenzia Fides)164 migranti da nave San Giorgio

I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.

I am very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something
regarding this.
