One more time, El Naturalista is going to meet to celebrate the XIII international sales conference, this time in Bilbao where it is going to show the new collection of shoes for spring-summer 2010 season.
Here will be the atauchi project with alot of things to say about the different initiatives.
In 1973 the General Assembly of United Nations established World Environmental Day (WED).
The WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. The agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnerships that will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.
During the WED many activities are carried out throughout the world.
Once again, El Naturalista is one of the companies invited by the Ilundain Foundation of Navarra to celebrate WED. The Ilundain Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that provides educational services to at-risk children and youth in Navarra who are facing marginalization in education and employment.
Last year, El Naturalista planted a tree in the newly created Forest of Participation, a space that symbolizes gratitude to the corporate sponsors. This year we will renew our collaboration in a scheduled outdoor event.
May 25th is the official day of Africa in the world. This day, established by the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963 at their meeting in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) celebrates African unity and diversity. Later came the African Union (AU), which has served as a driving force in the development of a range of institutions in Africa including the Pan African Parliament and the Peace and Security Council as well as the establishment of such programs as the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). These initiatives reflect Africa’s desire to merge the values of lasting peace, respect for human rights, good public affairs administration, and sustainable development.
Despite these positive developments at the institutional level, the latest report from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) indicates that 40 out of the 50 countries worldwide with the lowest development index are in Africa.
Currently more than 78 million children in Africa do not have access to a school or an education. A year ago, El Naturalista decided to dedicate a portion of our Atauchi Project funds to Africa because we are convinced that children represent the future, and a sound education is the foundation of that future. Working through the organization, Amigos de Tanzania, we have contributed to the Baobab Children’s Home located in Arusha, in norther Tanzania, an area where 44% of the population is between 0-14 years old. The Baobab Children’s Home serves a total of 37 children between the ages of 1-17 years. Twenty-five of the children live at the center.
Our intention is to continue contributing to the development of education for underprivileged children. Thanks to the support of all of you who believe in El Naturalista, we have already achieved more than 180,000 smiles!
We wish the World Cup which will be held in South Africa from June 11, 2010, could achieve to join and improve the knowledge about the African reality, their culture and their people.
