At the beginning of November, the Sète association Casa de España launched a major collection for the benefit of the Spanish people affected by the dramatic floods in Valencia. A month and a half later, a first trip to the martyred city of Paiporta will leave this Tuesday, December 17 from Sète. A truck, loaded with 1.7 tonnes of material, will make the eight long hours of travel to the south of Valencia.

“A real source of pride, and even a duty”

“Paiporta was the first village to be hit by the bad weather, recalls the president of Casa de España, Jorge Vaello. We had to extend the collection, while we obtained all the authorisations to reach our destination. It is a real source of pride, and even a duty, for us to provide assistance to this region and its inhabitants.”

This truck, provided by the City of Sète and which could precede a second convoy set up in a few days, is filled with hygiene and household products, canned goods, children's toys, clothing and medical equipment. Blankets, donated by a retirement home, drawings and little notes, from a collection carried out at the Joliot-Curie high school, and other donations, notably from the Saint-Joseph college, complete this solidarity trip.
