Fundación Moeve has organized its Volunteer Week in the Canary Islands, mobilizing 50 professionals from the company in Tenerife and Gran Canaria for various activities.
The annual initiative, focused on environmental awareness, social inclusion, and environmental protection, took place at several of the company's workplaces. This year's event coincided with the month commemorating the World Environment Day.
The activities were carried out in collaboration with organizations such as Salud Mental Atelsam, Envera, and Afanes Canarias, as well as with the participation of CEIP Punta del Hidalgo. These days facilitated interaction between volunteers and the entities' users, raising awareness of their realities and reinforcing social support.
In Tenerife, volunteers participated in creating terrariums with succulent plants, using recycled bottles and guided by users from Salud Mental Atelsam. This activity promoted recycling and connection with nature, while also sharing personal testimonies about the NGO's work.
Another activity on the island involved an inclusive visit to the Palmetum of Santa Cruz with children with disabilities from Afanes Canarias and students from CEIP Punta Hidalgo, fostering engagement with nature and environmental protection.
In Gran Canaria, Moeve employees participated in a kokedama-making workshop with individuals with intellectual disabilities from Envera's Occupational Center. They learned the cultivation technique and gained firsthand insight into the organization's efforts.
