Cambridge English in Spain and Portugal has signed an agreement with Aldeas Infantiles SOS (SOS Children's Villages in Spain) – the charity which provides funding to vulnerable families to help them care for their children.
As part of the agreement Cambridge English becomes a “Present Builder”, which means they will be contributing to the funding of projects run by the charity. The Cambridge English sponsorship will focus on a day-care centre for children in Zaragoza, where the organisation also has an SOS Children’s village. The Present Builder scheme encourages organisations from various sectors to get involved with projects that support the care for children, youth and families from vulnerable backgrounds.
Elaine Blaus, Regional Director for Cambridge English in Spain and Portugal, comments:
‘As an educational institution we have a commitment to the ongoing development of children and young people which makes us really proud to be supporting such an important initiative. The work of SOS enables children, youth and families at risk of exclusion to become active and valuable members of society.’
Cambridge English has created the hashtag #ColaboracionAldeasInfantiles to report back on the project as it progresses.
