​​ Neighbors helping Neighbors Madrid had it's annual closing get together. Pablo Aledo spoke about Fundación Altius Francisco de Vitoria - 1 Kilo de Ayuda.

He explained how they help families in need, they train unemployed people for becoming waiters, cooks, wharehouse employees, etc Within this context 
#NeighnorshelpingNeighborsMadrid makes a meaningful contribution by becoming a vehicle for the unemployed to be re-inserted in the market. Coaches and facilitators received their Certificates and Diplomas.

There were three beautiful baskets that were raffled, the contents were supplied by Altius and Universidad Francisco de Vitoria. We are so greatful to all for coming, to all those that helped by volunteering their time and talents.

​Thank you 
Eugenia Estella for being a faithful partner and a great coach! Marta Yarto Ferrández, we welcome you back! Cristina Otalora Miranda, your help in setting all this up was a great contribution. Catia Rinaldi, from Altius, is our guardian angel...she is always there for us, lending a hand and making things possible! Maria Fernandez Nogueira, Thank you for your help and support.

The baskets looked beautiful! 
John R. Fugazzie MBA, our mentor and inspiration, was mentioned all along the ceremony and cocktail party.
