The Infanta Elena, accompanied by the first lady of Panama,\u00a0Yazm\u00edn de Cortizo, visited the socio-sporting school run by the\u00a0Real Madrid Foundation<\/strong> in collaboration with the Fundaci\u00f3n Amigos del Real Madrid and the First Lady’s Office in Panama. The project has been benefitting almost 500 children at risk of social exclusion since 2006, with the support of the Fundaci\u00f3n Mapfre, where the Infanta is Project Director.<\/div>\n

Aside from the school in Panama City, which provides support for 150 boys and girls, the Foundation\u00a0<\/strong>runs a further two socio-sporting projects in the country, located in Chitr\u00e9 (Herrera province) and Tol\u00e9 (Chiriqu\u00ed province). They look after 300 young people at risk of exclusion, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to nearly 500. They are provided with safe recreation spaces and leisure time, moving them away from criminal gangs and the consumption of drugs and alcohol.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The schools foster the students’ wholesome development by using sport as a tool to educate in values such as\u00a0respect, teamwork, equality and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits.\u00a0Beyond teaching values through sport, there are also a range of socio-educational activities, including nutrition workshops.<\/p>\n

Support from Mapfre<\/strong>
\nThe Fundaci\u00f3n Mapfre has been collaborating with the\u00a0Real Madrid Foundation’s\u00a0<\/strong>projects in Brazil, El Salvador, the USA, the Philippines, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and the Dominican Republic for the last decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
