Spain - Úbeda's "Boscocarrera" solidarity run in favor of children and youth from Ethiopia and Ukraine
Úbeda, Spain - April 2022 - About a thousand people participated in Úbeda in the traditional solidarity run called "Boscocarrera," organized by the Salesian boarding school "Santo Domingo Savio," in collaboration with the Úbeda city government and the Salesians. This year the "Boscocarrera," now in its sixth year, was made to raise funds in favor of vulnerable children and youth in Mekanissa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and in support of Ukraine. The African project supports the "Don Bosco Youth Center," which works to prevent children and youth from vulnerable families on the outskirts of Addis Ababa from ending up living on the streets. This project is estimated to help improve the quality of life for about 400 children.
