We listened to Anna-Lissa who explained us about the IWC Asturias, IWC aims to be a ‘home from home’ in Asturias for everyone with an international experience to share. Whether you are a new expat arriving in Asturias or a Spaniard that has returned after a period abroad.
We believe there is a need for information and support for international families living in our region. The primary purpose of the club is to bring together women of all nationalities living in Asturias, to promote friendship, share mutual interests, and extend support and information to newcomers. It sends help to other countries, taking part in the Syrian help.
This organisation provides help to people who are trying to reach Europe by boats (firemen, professional, swimmers…). They make sure that they get to land safe and protect them from risky situations. It is very new since it was created when the Syrian problema appeared. It´s located in the island of Lesvos.
HOSPITALIDAD
We listened to Javier Gómez, who is a priest and also a teacher here in our school. He told us about Hospitalidad, which is a group of organisations that promotes a culture of solidarity and inclusion of migrants and refugees.
This organisation has 3 main objectives: migrations, international cooperation and children and youth at risk of social exclusion. To this end it implements campaigns and other kind of projects related to refugees.
Hogar de San José
Hogar de San José is an organisation that helps children who are outcast form normal society. For example children who are expelled for school or children who have parents that can´t take care of them anymore.
They house the children in different residences around Gijón, some live together in flats whilst others stay in the building of the organisation. It’s located near “El Musel”, which Gijon´s harbour.
The organisation makes sure that the children will be able to entre society again but now as normal well educated citizens.
