The students of the Santa María de los Volcanes School, under the tutelage of the Sisters of Nazareth, have donated 3,000 vaccines to eradicate polio in Africa and Asia, continents in whose countries this endemic disease still exists. The students have managed, through a solidarity initiative developed last Christmas on Calle Real in Arrecife, to raise some 1,500 euros to allocate them to the Rotary and Unicef initiative to eradicate polio.
ESO students from the Santa María de los Volcanes de Nazaret School developed multiple didactic and educational activities focused on cooperation and social commitment on December 20 and 21. A group of 30 students from the first, second, third and fourth years of ESO became living statues and were installed on Calle Real in Arrecife, to raise awareness about diseases in developing countries. In addition, there are the complementary activities that the students developed within their classrooms.
The students were characterized as these living statues with images of Fernando Alonso, David Ferrer, Andrés Iniesta or Pep Guardiola, among other popular characters, who have offered their support to Rotary and Unicef as ambassadors to eradicate polio from the planet.
This initiative, created and promoted by the group of teachers from the aforementioned center, had the support and collaboration of Rotary Club Lanzarote. "The ESO students offered their effort for the benefit of those most in need," said Eugenio Rojido, coordinating professor of this initiative.
