A total of 8 pallets, containing something more than 15.000 technical shirts 42K, will soon embark on the road to the African continent with the NGDO Training Senegal chaired by Antonio Zamorano.

Senegal and Mali, destination of the donation

“The promotion of sport is fundamental to consolidate schooling and that in this way education and training can be favored, which is the key to promoting the social transformation that curbs the rural exodus. The problem of many towns and villages is that they do not offer opportunities for education and training and that means going to the big cities in search of ways to earn a living”explains Antonio Zamorano.

The ONGD (Non-Governmental Organization for Development) chaired by Zamorano has been working in the Sahel for more than a decade on different training projects focused on the schooling of boys and girls, but also on the professional training of young people and adults, especially women. from rural settings.

Antonio Zamorano, president of the Senegal Training NGO.

Asked what this donation of clothes means for the kids and young people who will receive them, his answer is this:

“In situations of poverty such as those experienced in many African countries, having clothes is essential for personal dignity. There, people literally have nothing, and having clothes is a boost to their self-esteem. In addition, the boys and girls of the schools where we work are passionate about sports and having quality technical shirts to play sports is an enormous stimulus that greatly facilitates the task of teachers”He says.

 42K will dress up a boys and girls track team

In addition to this donation that will soon travel to Africa, 42K has undertaken to equip an athletics team from the town of Ndeur Diop (in the Senegalese region of Louga) as part of the agreement to promote the values ​​that practicing sports implies for development in rural communities.

This is a group of approximately thirty schoolchildren, both boys and girls, with ages ranging from 8 to 15 years.

The area of ​​Senegal in which he carries out his work is part of the Sahel and is one of the places on the planet that suffers the worst consequences of global warming in the most dramatic way, with a permanent drought that has led to rural exodus and massive emigration.

It is a group of approx. about thirty schoolchildren, both boys and girls, with ages ranging from 8 to 15 years. One of the aspects that Antonio Zamorano highlights with emotion is the presence of girls in this athletics team, since being a country in which Islam is the predominant religion (almost 97% of the population) it is sometimes complicated the participation of girls in certain activities such as sports.

Most athletes who regularly practice running and regularly participate in different popular tests have a special fixation for the collecting technical competition shirts.
For many they represent a legacy with which to review their sports career and remember tests, moments, challenges overcome, etc.
Therefore, taking care of them properly, keeping them with care and respecting them as if they were a precious trophy is a very common attitude among them. What runner does not keep the shirt with which he began to train and take his first steps in the world of racing? running?
Probably, it is the best test to remember the effort expended and, in this way, not to lose heart and continue overcoming obstacles, improving performance.
There are those who keep a collection of 300, 400 or even more. The shirt of the first popular test in which he participated, the first in which he was able to get on the podium, that solidarity test in which he took part, or the one that, due to its demanding and toughness, he feels proud to have completed. A T-shirt can become like a notch on a revolver, a totem that brings luck and protects from misfortune, a balm against decay, or a challenge worth fighting for.

The perfect medium to launch a message

The technical competition shirts They not only provide comfort to the runner. In addition to their specific characteristics, by which the runner feels protected against the fatal effect of the fabric rubbing against sweaty skin or inclement weather, these garments can become the ideal medium to launch a certain message.
The runners and their legacy: technical competition shirts 2
Solidarity and sport go hand in hand on many occasions, and popular athletics is very given to turning to certain social causes. There are races that seek to raise funds to help Alzheimer's patients or send food to countries in conflict situations. Some even get to monopolize the attention of the media.
And that is why they become an unbeatable showcase to launch a message or claim. Today they are made technical competition shirts that can be customized. From congratulating a relative's birthday to sending a message of support to a friend or colleague who is going through a delicate situation.
The runner worth his salt will also never throw a shirt in the trash. If it is kept in good condition, he will keep it even if it no longer serves him, as a trophy or as a souvenir. Or, you will choose to donate it to associations that collect clothes for people in need.
It's a good idea to save technical competition shirts of different sizes, since over time it is more than likely that the athlete will lose and gain weight at different stages. That the figure is outlined when it is at a high peak in terms of fitness and that some fat is recovered in times of break, either due to injuries or different personal reasons.
For whatever reason, conserve, pamper and respect the technical competition shirts It is a habit that more and more athletes acquire.
