The Sando Fundación, in its commitment to education in values, and to develop social and social initiatives in the social and social sphere, and to develop social initiatives aimed at children, sponsors the “Futman Valores” project, set up by Atlético Mancha Real and Atlético Jaén football clubs, with the sponsorship of the Jaen Provincial Government. The project was presented to publicise the calendar of training activities and value days planned for more than 300 young sportsmen and women from Jaen and its province. Actions will also target family members and technical teams.
The project aims to teach children and their immediate environment “virtues and healthy and positive skills, on and off the pitch”, giving them the tools to be “better people” and instilling values such as respect and humility. This was explained by Pedro del Pozo, a director of Atlético Mancha Real.
The Sando Fundación has programmed a calendar of different training activities, which it hopes will form the basis for future seasons. Among other topics, they will address sports nutrition. “There will be healthy recipes for children, according to age and category,” he confirmed.
“Our vocation is to give back to society what we get from it, in a real way, by supporting projects such as Futman Valores”, acknowledged Jorge Gámiz of the Sando Fundación.
“At the Provincial Council, we promote sport for all because we understand sport as a public health tool,” explained Ángel Vera, Minister of Sports. Likewise, the councillor for the Environment, Mª Carmen Angulo, defended the importance of working with the children’s families. Finally, the vice-president of the Jaen delegation of the Andalusian Football Federation, Ángel Gómez, acknowledged he was “delighted” with the project.
