Grupo VAPF collaborates with payaSOSpital Hospital Clowns

Grupo VAPF signed an economic collaboration agreement with the payaSOSpital organization, a non-profit association founded in 1999 that brings joy and amusement to hospitalized children in the Valencian Region, with performances by professional clowns, adapted to each child and coordinated with the medical personnel. PayaSOSpitla is a founding member of the Federation of European Hospital Clown Organizations.

The mission of payaSOSpital is to improve the life quality of these children, their families and the staff that serves them, helping them to better withstand hospital stays, by taking the drama out of the medical environment and offering moments of relaxation and distraction through humor, laughter and the fantasy.

PayaSOSpital carries out its regular programs mainly in hospitals with children patients suffering from cancer or other diseases that require long stays.

The workshop, which will is free of charge, will include several activities such as making of bracelets with fishing lines, learn to make fishing knots, place the bait and to fish in a selectively and artisanal way without causing impact on the seabed. Besides that, monitors will explain the traditional art of fishing in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell and the most common fish species found in the area, as well as the most dangerous ones. “It is a unique experience for children to connect with nature and know the art of traditional and ecological fishing in an environment of great scenic beauty such as El Moraig. It is important that someone tells them that they must fish only the essential quantity with the least possible impact on the seas, as artisanal fishermen do”. The workshop also provides important psychological benefits: with fishing, the little ones relax, release their stress mental, develop an adequate self-esteem, increase tolerance to frustration and learn to concentrate and have more patience. In addition, you can enjoy sports with friends and family.
