From mid-October the Salesian Institute in Valencia developed the campaign: "First the last". The school prepared all the activities with great enthusiasm, thinking of the project's beneficiaries: the girls from Freetown.
The campaign started with courses (tutorials) aimed at high school students who, in many cases, already knew the documentary "Love", having seen it when it was presented at the school last April. Secondary school students participated in the design of the solidarity bracelets for the campaign.
On 21 October, World Mission Day, the project was also presented at the Mass of the Family and in the Salesian house where everyone was able to collaborate by buying the bracelet with the words "Primero las últimas - #LOVE?”". The final proceeds of the sale of the bracelets - almost 1,200 euros - will go entirely to the recovery project for the girls of Sierra Leone.
But the campaign has continued to grow in the English courses; third and fourth year secondary students have done their part in the field to help and offer psycho-social support necessary for Sierra Leone girls, writing several letters in English for the girls of the "Girls Shelter+" program of Don Bosco Fambul in Freetown, with messages of hope of support and encouragement that have already reached their addressees.
The campaign coordination team also created a 3D murales at the entrance to the school and the students recorded a video with background images of the "Love" documentary.
And the awareness and help from the school do not end here; the whole educational community intends to organize a musical for next April and to allocate all the proceeds to the project in favor of minors in prostitution in Sierra Leone.
