Fundación Magtel has participated in a day of environmental coexistence organised by Foundation in collaboration with the Asociación Futuro Singular and Fundación FDI to promote living spaces for people with functional diversity, Magtel volunteers and environmental protection.

On this day, also present were the Mayor of the Hornachuelos Town Council, Ms. María del Pilar Hinojosa two environmental technicians in charge of supervising the work to be carried out and several representatives of Fundación Randstad Sevilla.

The day began with an explanation of the cleaning activity to be carried out, as well as the distribution of cleaning materials. The 38 participants including 15 Magtel volunteers, collected a total of 13 kilos of rubbish found on the Las Erillas path in Hornachuelos (Córdoba).

This large amount of rubbish reflects human misuse of nature, which is vital for human and animal survival.

After this activity, in which the teamwork developed by all the volunteers was highlighted, an environmental workshop was held .

On this occasion, and together with the other participants in the day, they made small birdboxes to house different species of birds and bats in the area in order to give them shelter and facilitate their reproduction.

This environmental awareness-raising initiative is part of the programmes that Magtel Foundation carries out in the area of social action through which we promote the improvement of the quality of life of people and our environment, always with sustainable development and environmental protection as basic operating premises, as well as establishing days of coexistence outside the work environment.

Once again this year, the Fundación Magtel provided the necessary logistical support for the distribution and delivery of the food collected in the campaign “Andaluces Compartiendo” (Andalusians Sharing) campaign, part of the Corporate Social Responsibility programme promoted by the  Landaluz, Fundación Cajasol and Fundación La Caixa.

The initiative has brought together more than 20 companies to provide families with a range of basic necessities such as oil, milk, canned fish, canned vegetables, pulses, etc. The total amount of food collected in this campaign amounts to 225.000 kilos and will be delivered to more than 210 social organisations in the provinces of Cordoba, Cadiz, Huelva and Seville.

In this sense, Fundación Magtel has provided its facilities in the industrial estate of Las Quemadas  storage of the products. From this location, the pallets of food received have been distributed to the different local entities that will benefit from this campaign.

Non-profit associations in charge of local food distribution include: Obra Social “Hermano Bonifacio” Hospital San Juan de Dios de Córdoba; Córdoba Acoge; Fundación Prolibertas-Comedor Social Trinitarios; Mujeres en Zona de Conflicto; Centro de Servicio Caritativo “Buenas Noticias”; Fundación Cruz Blanca; Comunidad Adoratrices de Córdoba; Asociación Iemakaie; Cáritas Parroquial San Lorenzo Mártir de Córdoba and Cáritas Parroquial Trinitarios.

Alleviating the current social ramifications

Andaluces Compartiendo is a solidarity programme organised by the Landaluz Association which, since its beginnings in 2013 to date, has become a global brand of Corporate Social Responsibility for different Andalusian companies, where the organisations that make up the association are committed to values such as commitment and unity.

This action is part of the Andaluces Compartiendo donation campaign at regional level, which allows food to be delivered through business organisations in Andalusia, with the aim of reducing the current social and economic ramifications of the food crisis.
