We had a stand at the 4-day “Christmas Market with Heart” at the Flaminio Stadium in Rome. It was Cure2Children’s first participation in a market in Rome, and the experience has been very positive.
Solidarity Birthdays
Distributing flyers , we spoke with a hundred or so families, and we found a lot of interest and curiosity about this new and original method of solidarity.
Volunteers
One thing that impressed me was that we managed to involve 12 volunteers who took it in turns on the stand, without having to make a single call! I sent an email to 4 people, who in turn got in touch with others, the shifts were established and organized by email, without ever talking amongst ourselves.
This is another demonstration that, when you want to help, it’s best to get to work to achieve the result, without making big speeches and involving friends.
I’d sincerely like to thank (even more so because of the cold ………) Simonetta Sorio, Anna Longo, Willi, Assunta Bellezza, Charles Barbaliscia, Monica Macori, Elizabeth Macrina, Laura Mercuri, Simone Lorenzetti, Caterina Costantino, Fabio di Giorgio and Fabrizio Fiore.
And a big thank you to Niccolò Di Raimondo, Deputy Mayor for Social Policies and Personal Services, Health and Youth Policies of the second Municpio, who proposed this initiative and has helped us in the organization.
