On Thursday 6 October, Laboratorios Farmacéuticos ROVI sponsored the “Día de la Banderita”, organised by the Red Cross. Under the slogan “Journey to the heart of the Environment”, this edition wanted to leave the piggy banks behind and focus on the energy crisis and the consequences of climate change.
With the aim of responding to families suffering from so-called energy poverty, ROVI wanted to join in as one of the companies sponsoring this traditional event. “People who are forced to leave their homes because they find themselves in increasingly less habitable places (the so-called climate displaced persons) or families who have to choose between paying their utilities and maintaining a balanced diet are just some examples of this problem”, said Eugenia Rodríguez, president of the organisation in the province of Granada, who took the opportunity today to thank all the people and companies that have collaborated.
Throughout the day, a circuit of workshops and prevention and awareness-raising activities was set up for the more than two hundred children who came to participate. The event was also attended by the Mayor of Granada, Francisco Cuenca; the delegate of Social Inclusion, Matilde Ortiz; and the deputy of Social Welfare of the Diputación de Granada, Olvido de la Rosa, who wanted to thank the work of all Red Cross volunteers and collaborating companies for “bringing humanity to every corner of the planet”.
