In recent days, the Lettera8 social cooperative launched its fundraising campaign titled "Let's Venture Out," thanks to the support of The Heart Melts Foundation, in collaboration with the Coop Valdarno Fiorentino, Coop San Giovanni Valdarno and Montevarchi members' section, and under the patronage of the Municipality of Figline and Incisa Valdarno. The goal is to purchase machinery to expand the work activities of disabled people in the area, promoting their social inclusion through this medium and through the creation of a theater workshop.
In addition to the possibility of making donations online until April 27, on the Eppela platform(www.eppela.com/progettipensaticonilcuore), live events are also planned , during which people can contribute to the cause immediately. The next event is set for Saturday, April 7, at 4:30 p.m., when the "Music for the Heart" singing performance will be held in the members' space of the Coop.fi shopping center (Via Ungheria, Figline). It will be curated by Daniela Mugnai, with students and friends of the Butterfly Association. At the performance, a raffle will be held, the proceeds of which will go entirely to support the solidarity crowdfunding project.
The second of the events already planned and included in the same fundraiser is the benefit dinner on Friday, April 13, which will also be held in the Coop members' space in Figline at 8 p.m.(reservations by April 9 at 055.951888, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Mon-Fri, or 347.9434918).
As a reminder, the non-profit Social Cooperative, founded in 1990, aims to offer young people with disabilities an employment opportunity through handicraft activities in papermaking, bookbinding, wedding favors and maintenance. In addition, the Cooperative offers reading and writing workshops, through which boys can enhance their expressive and emotional skills. Read more about their activities at www.letteraotto.it
