Creating or sowing hope is extremely important and beneficial. There are many people who will participate, for a month and a half, in building this "Tree of Hope."
"This can be done by purchasing a butterfly or an artificial flower which will help to make thousands of people happy. The butterfly or flower will be placed on that wonderful tree and transform it into an expression and a symbol of hope," says the Salesian Fr Juan Linares.
The four NGOs that will benefit from the initiative have different objectives, but they share one purpose - to help. For the Salesian group, Fundación Don Bosco, the goal is to provide summer educational activities for 2,000 children from the group "Boys and Girls with Don Bosco".
The foundation Nido para Ángeles intends to complete the construction of a hydrotherapy centre for 200 children. The NGO Save the Children aims to support and promote the idea of respect and guarantee that it will not tolerate any form of violence against children. While the Santa Rosa Institute for Aid to the Deaf wants to supply hearing aids to 21 children.
Generating hope is important because hope is the great engine of a person's life and fills us with courage and joy. The hope is not only for those who wait, but also those who give with love.
