The Solé Rototom Beach has hosted this Saturday a meeting with the volunteers of the NGO to thank them for their collaboration and involvement in the campaign to collect cups donated by the public of the festival.
The organization supporting humanitarian civilian rescue boats based in the port of Borriana will allocate the contribution to two projects: the training boat Eulàlia-Rescue Rhib and L’Aurora-Sicily, which will replicate the action of the NGO in Italian ports.
