Carlos de la Fuente unloads materials donated to the Hermanas del Buen Samaritano in Chile

Helping others is not -obviously- something to be accomplished only during the Christmas time. This was reminded to MIT School students by Don Carlos de la Fuente Soladana, awarded with the National Volunteer Award, who visited MIT School to offer an instructive talk about solidarity.

He, along with companies, individuals and religious communities, work as a “solidarity team” which, for more than forty years, has been actively engaged with causes of all kinds at any latitude: towels for a hospital in Angola, stationary for orphan girls in Mozambique, or, for example, food in Alozaina (Málaga).

The students were very interested in the subject, and asked several questions: “Is adopting an animal a solidarity gesture?” “And the blood donation?” “What is the act of solidarity with which you can help more people?” Therefore, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of  the pupils and the time that Don Carlos devoted to the talk, MIT School  achieved one of its main objectives once again: the education in fundamental values.
