24.03.08

The Marbella Horizonte Association’s Proyecto Hombre will hold a Gala Dinner next Friday the 28th of March to mark its XXVI anniversary. The event, which will be hosted by the director and master of ceremonies Alejandro Bega, will be held in Fuerte Marbella and will be attended by numerous well-known people from social and cultural circles in Marbella high society.

As an attraction, all the food on the menu will be ecologically sourced. The price per person will be 125 Euros, meaning that each guest will contribute to the social work that the association has been carrying out on the Costa del Sol for more than 25 years. All of the funds raised during the Gala Dinner will be used to construct classrooms at the “Social Insertion Centre in the El Ángel neighbourhood”. These classrooms have become a primordial necessity for children from the neighbourhood.

Entertainment for the evening will be provided by several acts, including the Mezzo soprano Rosa Pérez Díaz and “The Farataos Jazz Band”. Alejandro, a juggler from the Black Box Theatre will also put on a special performance during the evening.

About the Horizonte Association

The Association, which provides assistance to an average of 300 young people per year, runs several projects like prevention open days and an educational therapy programme that helps people with drug addition problems. These programs are run at the Las Albarizas, La Patera and El Ángel social insertion centres in Marbella. In addition, the Association operates a 24 hour supervised refuge for drug addicts who are undergoing treatment, provides advice to families and trains voluntary personnel.

The Horizonte Association was conceived in 1982 by a group of Christian couples determined to help young people on the margins of society. During its first years, their activities revolved around giving drug prevention talks in schools in Marbella. In 1984-1985 they joined forces with the diocese of Malaga and the Order of Franciscan Tertiaries to found the Spanish Solidarity Centre in Malaga, whose Trust Supervises the Proyecto Hombre in the city and province of Malaga.
