Teatro do Campo Raise €400

The Teatro do Campo have asked Amovate if we could post this article on our website:

The Vale da Telha theatre group, Teatro do Campo, raised 400 euros for charity from their show in July at the Adega da Craveira in Vales. They decided to donate this money to the Aljezur branch of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.which was founded in Paris in 1833.This society now serves impoverished people in around 132 contries worldwide and is dedicated to assisting those in need.

Our photograph shows members of the theatre group at the St. Vincent de Paul Society’s premises in Aljezur. Deborah Kinloch, on behalf of the Teatro do Campo, presented the money to Fernanda Agapito who is the President of the Aljezur branch. Senhora Agapito was delighted with the donation and the ladies of the Teatro do Campo were very interested to be shown around the Society’s storerooms in Igreja Nova where clothes and foodstuffs etc. are kept for local families in need.
