THE QUEEN SOFIA AND THE PRINCESS LETIZIA VISIT TOGETHER THE RASTRILLO
They did not want to lose the opportunity to collaborate with New Future and acquired several articles of gift for this Christmas
The charitable street market El Rastrillo, which is celebrated traditionally in the enclosure of the Country house of Madrid as anteroom of the Christmas to collect funds destined for the needy children, has returned to dress of length. And it is that a brilliant day has lived today on having received the visit of the queen Sofía and of the princess Letizia, who realized her first public exit after announcing that waits a girl .
'Queens' of the solidarity
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law accompanied by the infanta Pilar, chairwoman of New Future honor of the foundation (organizing of this project), walked during long moment snooping round all the places. The complicity between three ladies of the Spanish Royal Family, their sharm and, especially, their solidarity they marked their visit to the charitable street market. A visit in which they had the opportunity to converse with some of the voluntary ones and to be interested for the labor of the organizations that collaborate in El Rastrillo. Neither the queen Sofía, nor dona Letizia, who is in her fourth month of pregnancy, wanted to get lost the opportunity to collaborate with New Future and acquired several articles of gift for this Christmas, specially for the small ones of the family.
But there have not been alone the Queen and the Princess of Asturias as known faces. From its inauguration, last November 23, at the expense of the infanta dona Pilar, there have passed for El Rastrillo, Beatriz de Orleáns, Natalia Figueroa, Jose Maria Álvarez del Manzano tree, who wanted to see the portrait of his daughter realized by Urbano Galindo, Pilar Cernuda, Cuca G. Vinuesa, Pilar Tabares, Julio A. López, Íñigo Perez of Rada, Maria T. Álvarez and a length etc. of names that wanted to add to this good reason, which will extend until the next 3rd.
A challenge: the record of collection overcomes
East year, New Future dreams of a new challenge: general overcomes the public's abundance - and of the most relevant personalities - and the record of collection of last year (the forecasts speak about almost 1,3 million Euros), that will be destined to finance 139 homes of this association, as well as to computerize those of Madrid, to helps in order that the major boys study abroad, to a home in Peru and to the follow-up of the emancipated young people.
