The City Council plenary session unanimously approved on June 3 to award the Haría Awards to Tomás Rodríguez Dorta and the assistance volunteers of the northern Parish. The institutional ceremony for the presentation of the awards will take place next Friday, June 24, in the Jameos del Agua Auditorium at 8:30 p.m.

"The Haría award for the volunteer work of the Parish is more than deserved. It is a way of transmitting values to the children," said the northern mayor, Chaxiraxi Niz, on Radio Lanzarote - Onda Cero. In addition, the mayor explained that the parish priest gave the Consistory a list of the volunteers who collaborate daily in the Parish.

The second prize is for Tomás Rodríguez Dorta, who for many years was in charge of the Haría Mobile Park. The mayor assures that Rodríguez "was always at the service of the citizens." "I remember that when I was five years old, he was helping the neighbors, at 10 at night, and people said that he spent hours in the City Council," adds the highest northern leader. In addition, Niz assures that Tomás Rodríguez Dorta "never had a conflict with a worker, or a politician." "Look how difficult that is," adds the mayor.
