The entities receiving the new toys are: Ari-Peru Association, Avep Association, Rumiñahui Association, Casa Chile, Deporte por Educación Nazaret, Mundo Solidario and Banco de Alimentos.

Our wish is that this action achieves a lot of attention, because at the VCF Foundation our objective is to make a better society for everyone."
