  • We do all this with respect and affection towards our neighbours.

New social projects

A) Espacio Amigo.

  • "Espacio Amigo" is a project born through cooperation between neighbours Trudi van Dorp, Margaret Hales, Councillor Isabel Garrido and Civil Protection Benitachell . The Project has the intention of offering a happy, gentle and safe place to meet, interact, to learn a little about our community here and to enjoy the company of others. There will be volunteers from the community and a programme of activities and plenty of time to chat and have a cup of coffee and a biscuit! The venue is Edificio El Puig, beside the Lady Elizabeth School, probably on one Thursday morning every month. A trial run will be held in August with the official opening in September!  Transport can be arranged. More details will be given during the summer. 
  • Anyone wanting to volunteer should contact Margaret on margaretgeraldhales@gmail.com or whatsapp 658530138.

B) Friendly Cities for the Elderly People Project.

Translation

  • This workshop will be translated into English and other languages if necessary.
  • We want everyone to be able to understand and participate without difficulty.

Thank you for coming!

  • We listen to your ideas, your doubts and your needs.
  • We want to improve with you!
  • This is just the beginning of a closer, more human and connected Benitatxell.

    Margaret and Trudi, Trudi and Margaret are a true inspiration for all of us and it is a luxury and a blessing to have them as neighbours and friends at Cumbre del Sol. We cannot thank them enough for their selfless and passionate dedication and commitment.
    “…Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit… Therefore by their fruits you will know them”.
    I wish them every success and support in this new project.

    Hier in Benitachell und vor allem auf dem Cumbre del Sol sind wir quasi "Klein-Europa" mit der gesamten Vielfalt an Sprachen. Diese unterschiedlichen Sprachen können leicht erhebliche Gräben darstellen, die Kommunikation sehr oft erschweren oder sogar unmöglich machen. Dass es unserem Organisationsteam gelungen ist, diese Hürde anzugehen und zu überwinden, ist eine außerordentliche Leistung und wird für den Erfolg dieses unseren Projekts maßgeblich beitragen. Dafür möchte ich mich ganz besonders herzlich bedanken!
    Die Aufgabe von uns allen ist jetzt (nur noch) diese Chance zu ergreifen und zu nutzen.
    Und das sollten wir auch unbedingt tun...!
    Ich wünsche uns allen viel Erfolg, aber auch tolle Erlebnisse, wenn wir uns hier in unserer Wahlheimat oder unserer zweiten Heimat tiefer verwurzeln.
