The presents, holidays, games and getting together with the family, with the hope of catching a glimpse of Santa Claus or the Three Kings make it all extra special for them.  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>However, not all children have the same luck at Christmas, as well as at other times of the year. So, with this in mind and in an age when the need to support others is much more present in our lives, the schoolchildren at Moj\u00e1car\u2019s Bartolom\u00e9 Flores School joined the &#8220;Kilometres of Solidarity&#8221; project set up by Save the Children.<br \/>\n\t 360 children volunteered to take part in this mini marathon through the town\u2019s streets, a race which had no winners or losers, all of them contributing one euro to this charity that works so hard for children\u2019s rights.<br \/>\nSave the Children suggested the project to the AMPA Parents\u2019 Association and the School Management, an idea immediately taken on by  them, as well as the enthusiastic youngsters who were keen to collaborate and join this initiative to help less fortunate children.<br \/>\nAMPA, along with Save the Children organised the event which is part of the \u201cEscuela, Espacio de Paz\u201d Project developed jointly by the Parents\u2019 Association, Bartolom\u00e9 Flores School and Moj\u00e1car Council.<br \/>\nAMPA members handed out of bibs and information leaflets, taking on the role as &#8220;volunteer staff&#8221; to make sure that everything went off smoothly, as well as contributing to the donations collected by the young athletes to make it even more &#8220;supportive.&#8221;<br \/>\nRoutes and schedules were designed according to the ages of the junior runners who ranged from 3 to 12 years old, who were more than ready afterwards for a well-deserved rest with refreshments in the school courtyard, courtesy of AMPA and the Council.<br \/>\n&#8220;Kilometres of Solidarity&#8221; is more than just a race, as it is an educational Project showing commitment, in this case from Moj\u00e1car\u2019s youngest citizens and the local educational community, to achieve a more just world, especially for its little ones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas, as everyone knows, is a time of magic and dreams, particularly for children.
