Asociación Manos Abiertas
On the 14th of May, Ascension Day, a lot of new people joined us for the Solidary Breakfast. We also saw many familiar faces who decided to spend this festive day with us. We couldn’t be happier to spend this day with all of them!
On March, we received a generous food donation organized by the OTR International School. The AMA team is very grateful for this thoughtful and supportive gesture from both students and teachers.
¡Menudos cocineros tenemos entre nuestros usuarios!
Han cocinado arroz y arepas. Todo delicioso. Un día muy divertido.
Nuestra asociación este año no ha tenido vacaciones de verano y hemos querido hacer algo especial. Gracias a nuestras organizadoras Victoria y Carolina por este fantástico y numeroso picnic en el que nuestros usuarios se lo han pasado muy bien.
We were honoured to be invited by the @FEST 2022 committee to take care of the catering for their festival.
It certainly was a busy weekend, but we were delighted to be able to participate and soak up the wonderful atmosphere at this great English-theatre festival, with its fantastic actors and organisers.
We hope to see you at the next FEST! FEST2022
Given the current drastic situation, many of our users with temporary or precarious contracts are at danger of having their contracts terminated or not having them renewed. Their income will suffer greatly and they will be unable to meet their expenses. The registered not-for-profit Associación Manos Abiertas, asbl (A.M.A) is launching an urgent appeal to help the most vulnerable make ends meet. We would like to help them pay part of their rent, utility bills and everyday groceries and we are now appealing to the general public to help us by putting aside the money you might have spent on a coffee, a glass of wine, a cinema ticket, meal out, or even that little getaway you were unable to take, and transfer that amount to AMA’s account.
Also encourage your children and friends to be supportive. Any amount, however small, is a BIG help.
We can’t save lives like health care workers do but we can help ease the burden on the life of someone who has been economically impacted by this situation. And you can rest assured that, despite being isolated in your lockdown, you are helping in a BIG way.
Solidarity is our greatest reward and it’s the only possible way to make our way through the crisis that is affecting all of us in some way or another.
We estimate that 5000 euros would make a HUGE difference to the lives of so many. They need us! Please help. Thank you!
The 36th Migrations Festival was held on 1, 2 and 3 March 2019 – three days in which to meet friends, have some fun, and enjoy good music, dance, crafts and food.
Throughout the entire weekend the AMA stand sold local delicacies from Spain, Chile and Peru, to name but a few.
The festival is a great opportunity to advertise our activities and raise money to fund them
The second Fiesta Española organised by the FAEL was a great success. Congratulations to all those who participated. Many people visited our AMA stand to find out more about what we do. The Ambassador also paid us a visit and Victoria and our users explained our work to him.
