Rovizza: un esempio di solidarietà
Importante donazione degli Amici di Rovizza al Comune di Sirmione
The strength of a community is measured through solidarity, and Rovizza is an example of this. Last Saturday, December 21, in the setting of the Sirmione hamlet, the voluntary association Amici di Rovizza donated a vehicle equipped for the transport of disabled people to the Social Services of the Municipality of Sirmione, thanks to the funds raised in the festival that animates the village every year, marking an important gesture of closeness and support.
The donation ceremony was held during the traditional exchange of Christmas greetings that saw the participation of the three parish choirs of Sirmione, who animated the church of the hamlet, the Sant’Orsola nursery school, which gave life to an evocative living nativity scene, and some residents involved in the re-enactment of ancient professions.
Great emotion during the ceremony, with Marco Righetti, President of the Amici di Rovizza, who together with the board delivered the vehicle in the presence of the mayor of Sirmione, Luisa Lavelli, the Municipal Administration, the parish priest of Rovizza, don Manuele Modena and numerous citizens. President Righetti expressed his gratitude to the 120 volunteers who each year dedicate their time and energy to carry out charitable projects, including donations to Sirmione nurseries, to the La Nostra Casa di San Benedetto center and to non-profit organizations such as AIRC.
Luisa Lavelli, Mayor of Sirmione, said about the initiative: “The true value that emerges from your initiatives, even more important than the financial donations you make each year, is the human value of the volunteers and the welcome that you generate in your proposals, a true leaven for our community“.
The Councilor for Social Services, Elena Boschi, welcomed the gift with emotion from the community in which she herself lives:
“This gift is the result, yes, of the generosity of the volunteers but also the outcome of a project that has made it a priority to help families who have children with serious disabilities so that they can have a full and dignified social life and to care for our loneliest elderly, so that they can attend our social center and prevent depressive pathologies. A path of full collaboration and the result of true friendship”.
The event ended with the blessing of Don Manuele Modena, who wished everyone a Christmas full of hope and love. Once again Sirmione and its volunteers are examples of concreteness and solidarity, values that still give hope for the future.
