HM Obra Social Nens Foundation and RCD Espanyol Organize a Christmas Hospital Visit

The HM Obra Social Nens Foundation and RCD Espanyol have coordinated a new edition of their solidarity visit to the HM Nens Hospital in Barcelona. This Tuesday, the hospital entity shared the details of the initiative through an official statement. 🎄

The goal: to cheer up the hospital stay

The central purpose of this action is to bring joy and emotional support to the children receiving medical treatment during the Christmas period. A delegation from the football team, made up of players, visited the center to interact directly with the admitted children.

Activities during the visit:
  • The athletes share time and conversation with the patients.
  • They sign autographs and give out gifts and presents.
  • This action reflects the social commitment maintained by both the foundation and the club.
It's a shame that the goal of happiness doesn't have a VAR to validate it automatically for all the little ones.

A tradition that consolidates every year

This event is not isolated, but a collaboration that repeats annually at Christmas. The ongoing alliance between the medical institution and RCDE demonstrates a firm commitment to maintaining their social responsibility work in the community.

Impact of the initiative:
  • Aims to normalize the experience of being in a hospital for children.
  • Seeks to create positive memories in a context that can be difficult.
  • Renews the solidarity bond between the sports club and its environment.

A moment of shared humanity

In short, this annual visit goes beyond a one-off gesture. It represents a joint effort to humanize pediatric healthcare and use the power of sport to generate smiles. Actions like this highlight the importance of organizations getting involved beyond their main activity. 🤝
