| The Director of Social Services of the AWCI, Mrs. Julieta Pedrosa, explained that every event that the Club organizes has a beneficent objective. "We are in the end of this fiscal year and we thought it would be a good idea to put ourselves into this tea and gather a little more to the 17 institutions that we assist, including shelters for children, elderly people, for women who have suffered violence within their homes, children with cancer, orphanages and much more. So all our activities have a bigger goal with no ostentation and always having a good time. I am happy with this event, we actually gathered more than I expected". |
