- Organized in collaboration with the Fundación Theodora, it is the first corporate volunteering activity of the year promoted through the Voluntas program.
- When the pandemic situation permits, a group of volunteers will deliver the pajamas to children admitted to the HUNSC in Tenerife and the Materno Infantil in Las Palmas.
Twenty Cepsa professionals, joined by about 40 family members, participated in the first corporate volunteering activity of the year through an online workshop on decorating solidarity pajamas, organized in collaboration with the Fundación Theodora.
This Foundation is committed to improving the hospital stay of children through the Doctors Smile, artists who, thanks to magic, music and theater, advocate for making their convalescence and the moments prior to surgery more pleasant.
The meeting, which was directed and energized by Dr. Pomada, encouraged teamwork among the participants, who, each from their own homes, made the sketches and decorated the pajamas for the children admitted to the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria (HUNSC) in Tenerife and the Materno Infantil in Las Palmas.
Fundación Cepsa was in charge of providing the Cepsa professionals with the pajamas and the necessary material for their decoration. In addition, each of the participating teams prepared a card with a dedication for the children who will receive each pair of pajamas.
The workshop, held online as a result of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, in addition to promoting teamwork, emphasized the motivation of the participants, as well as delving into self-knowledge, innovation and collective creation.
When the situation set by COVID-19 allows it, a group of Cepsa volunteers, accompanied by a representative of Fundación Cepsa, will travel to the HUNSC and the Materno Infantil to deliver the pajamas to the little ones, coinciding with the visit of Doctor Smile to these centers.
The participation of Cepsa professionals in this initiative adds to the large number of volunteer activities organized by Fundación Cepsa in the last year, despite the limitations marked by the pandemic.
In this sense, Fundación Cepsa has made a broad commitment to online activities, even during the months of confinement. In this way, Cepsa professionals have participated in different programs, such as accompanying the elderly by telephone or letter, with the collaboration of entities such as the Red Cross, Iniciativas Humanas or the Adopt a Grandparent Association.
In addition to this, there were online storytelling workshops with Fundación Theodora, participation in the charity races organized by Fundación Adecco and the Madrid Down Syndrome Association.
With all this, the Voluntas program stresses the need to develop the solidarity concerns of Cepsa's professionals in order to improve society and the environment in which they live.
