The Casa-Museo Monumento al Campesino hosted this Sunday the commemorative event of the International Volunteer Day. A special edition since it could not be celebrated last year due to the pandemic. The president of the Consortium, Marcos Bergaz, took the floor to thank the work of the volunteers who carry out for the benefit of society and especially during the pandemic.
On this occasion, the Cabildo of Lanzarote has published the book "Civil Protection in Lanzarote" written by the journalist Saúl García, which collects the history of volunteering on the island from its origin to the present.
