The Solidarity Torch

On 24th November, 2009, the students of 1º of ESO went to pick the Solidarity Torch to the church “Virgen del Pasico”. Once there, we collected one torch, symbol of solidarity, and some people explained us how we had to take the torch and what we had to do to the get to the school with it. In the small church, when we took the torch, we walked to the school, and when we got there, some people gave us a speech on solidarity. We must be supportive with the people who have less than us. The people, who gave us the speech, were of an ONG, volunteers of Caritas. They work helping the others without receiving anything in return. They showed us one film about the people who don’t have the same as us: they lived in slums; they were hungry, lived in the streets…. There are many organizations that help the people in need: Caritas, Manos Unidas…
There, they welcome the people; they give them food, etc. In the torch appeared a symbol that was four hearts that looked to the four sides (North, South, East and West). This means they help all the people in all places of the world.
