Fuengirola heroes are celebrated

On May 9, Fuengirola’s Palacio de la Paz will host the ‘Rocío Alfaro Calvo’ gala at 7pm, celebrating seven local volunteers for their selfless contributions.

The council organized the event to pay a heartfelt homage to individuals and 17 charities who have done vital work for the community. The gala’s purpose, according to Cristina Borneo, is ‘a simple but sincere homage to those who altruistically dedicate their time to others’.

This year’s participating charities include Cudeca, providing palliative care; AFA, supporting Alzheimer’s families; Avates, aiding autism communities; Mujeres en Igualdad, promoting gender equality; Apaffer, assisting fibromyalgia patients; AECC, advancing cancer support; and Cooperación Honduras, fostering international aid. Others, like Málaga Acoge, Red Madre, Afesol, Adintre, ONCE, Fuensocial, AVOI, Abriendo Puertas, Fundación Harena, and Protección Civil, address diverse needs in the community, from migrant support to child welfare and emergency services.

Fuengirola is proud to honour these individuals, who were selected by social collectives. Annya the violinist will add elegance to the evening.
