Our sports and solidarity adventures continued in 2018, when we went to Madagascar.
\nAn island far away, a country of contrast and one of the most beautiful places on earth. A world of human, animal and geographical diversity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The expedition arrived in Madagascar on the 10th April to play a solidarity game, to familiarise themselves with the NGO Yamuna\u2019s facilities, to drop off sports and school supplies and to finally see the most symbolic landscapes the country has to offer.<\/p>\n

Once settled in Madagascar, the 36 members of the Ramass\u00e0 expedition went to their United Nations base where they were welcomed by authorities. The team also made an institutional visit to the town hall of Antananarivo, the capital of the country. That is where they met the opposing team members,\u00a0CNaP\u2019s<\/a>, champions of the national league.
\nThe match took place on Sunday 22nd April, at the Vontovorna pitch, the same village where Yamuna works. We were very happy with the successful turn-out of 5433 people, bearing in mind the capital\u2019s uproar the night before.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The players came onto the pitch, with children from Yamuna\u2019s foster homes holding them by the hand; they exchanged banners and Ramass\u00e0 handed over roses to the opposing team, a gesture to commemorate Saint George\u2019s feast day.<\/p>\n

The final score was 9-1 (goal by Ruben Romera), with the first half being evenly matched and both teams played on top form. The event was promoted as an opportunity, through sport, to show the young population the importance of resolving conflicts in a pacific manner, the fight against corruption, citizen participation and saying no to violence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The importance of this match was reflected on a state television advertisement, encouraging fans to come along.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The joint project between Ramass\u00e0 and Yamuna has been an ambitious and difficult one, and lots of time and resources have been spent on it. Since 2000, the NGO has worked on diminishing marginalisation of the most vulnerable groups and focuses on the task of protecting children and women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ramass\u00e0 has been donating sports equipment to CNaP\u2019s since the very beginning. Part of this donation, around 300 kilos, was in collaboration with RCD Espanyol. They also donated school supplies to the Mandrosoa school children. In total, the team donated 700 kilos of supplies.
\nAt the start, the project provided funding for a bus to take children with learning difficulties to the special education school of Tana. In the end, this initiative did not go ahead due to a shift in the NGO\u2019s priorities, as Yamuna had to reserve the resources to fight against the plague and the damage left from Hurricane Ava.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due to this, the club helped out in constructing the second shelter for Yamuna\u2019s main facilities in Tsinjo. On the other hand, after last year\u2019s release of the solidarity book \u2018El Somni d\u2019en Jan\u2019, this year we have published \u2018El viatge d\u2019en Vic\u2019 which will also be used to collect funds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Social and cultural awareness<\/h2>\n

In the days leading up to the match, Ramass\u00e0 visited the Mandrosoa School, where they spent the day doing different activities with the children, such as gardening, handicraft, singing, dancing, cooperative football<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Madagascar, public schools do not receive aid from the state, the classes are overflowing, and the teachers have barely been trained. This is why Yamuna donates to this school, to fix this problem. At the end of the day, we gave them school supplies.<\/p>\n

Once again, we lived an experience that transformed us as people and as a club. We also saw in person the natural wealth of this country when we went to the National Park of Andasibe.
\nIt gave us the feeling of a job well done, and that we really had met so many wonderful people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
