SOLIDARITY CAUSE : DONACIBO ( DONATING FOOD ) From 17th to 21st March 2015 the Erasmus Plus Student Group together with other students of our school, the Liceo Volta-Fellini in Riccione , and a group of volunteers held the charity initiative known as “ DONACIBO” (donating food ). This activity was launched by the National Federation of “ Banchi Alimentari” nine years ago and had its roots in the challenge issued by a priest from Milan who claimed that : “ anyone who is in front of a need cannot stay still and is moved to help freely. This is ‘ Charity ‘ : a hearty and absolutely free help to anyone who is in need. | |
But one who does not feel his own need and does not feel the pain of it, cannot understand someone else’s need. One may give a lot to charity but perceiving the needy person only as a tool for his own project or in order to use the needy person as a way to appease the soul. On the contrary, the truth of charity is that of making one happy.”
The students of the Erasmus Plus project, named “ School in movement: enjoying wealth being in good health, organized a collection of unperishable foods together with a solidarity race held on last 26th February, to the purpose of supporting the initiative of “ DONACIBO” . Also the teachers and the school staff supported the event with great generosity, bringing food and collaborating to the organization. The school collected more than 500 Kg. of food, which was finally handed out to the person in charge of the “ Banchi Alimentari “ Federation on next Saturday. For this occasion the President of the local branch of the Federation gathered the students of the Erasmus Plus in the school Hall and explained in detail how the Federation works, where and how the food is distributed, the standard of families and people who benefit from this activity held yearly in the whole country.
Everybody agreed on the fact that this has been an important moment of true education. The students of the Erasmus Plus realized that pursuing wealth and health is a basic educational objective especially if it opens your mind and heart to the need of whoever is in trouble by responding to a fundamental law of our nature, which is the necessity to share all that we own that is Good and Beautiful. Our kids’ gladness was the most convincing proof of this.
