TenTravel DMC supports childrens cancer charity “Pequeño Valiente”

TenTravelDMC, through EPTDA and its members jointly donated a sum of €17,220 for its annual charity to Pequeño Valiente (“the Little Brave One”), during their Grand Finale Dinner.

“We are both humbled by the experience of dealing with Pequeño Valiente and euphoric for being able to make this contribution to the charity”, Marcos Albornoz van Aken, Director Sales & Operations at TenTravelDMC.”When it comes to corporate responsibility and what global companies can contribute to local communities it does not get better than this. Our role as DMC is to see the opportunities and make them happen”.

José Juan Jerez Castro, President of Pequeño Valiente attended the EPTDA Annual Grand Finale Dinner and addressed the delegates, “We are so grateful to everyone at EPTDA who have opened up their hearts to make this significant donation to our cause. Fighting cancer is painful, and it is even more daunting for families living on an island to find suitable accommodation and other logistical support to travel to seek proper treatment for their children. We will  dedicate this donation to refurbishing and updating a new accommodation facility in Gran Canaria to house the cancer-affected children while they get treatment.”

Pequeño Valiente was founded in 2006 by a group of parents on the Canary Islands, whose children are affected by cancer. The charity aims to provide families and children who have the disease all the necessary support in the best possible conditions, trying to improve the quality of life throughout the disease.
