Hello Everyone,
As we all know, spotlighting charities and worthwhile causes is important to SR.
As a group, Elli, Coco, Sere and I are also dedicated to promoting these endeavors. Therefore, we are happy to post a weekly series in order to take a more in-depth look at the various charitable organizations highlighted by SR. You can find a complete list of these charities on our blog by clicking on the "About the Charities" header.
Today's spotlight focuses on a charity based in Spain. We send sincere thanks to Ana of GIFansSpain for writing about it for us.
We hope you will find the information in these posts informative and educational. If you have a particular cause that is close to your heart or you have personal experiences with any of the charities we spotlight, please feel free to contact us about it.
Take Care,
Jenn
