CHARITY EVENT: 10 CHEFS PER ECUADOR

In response to the devastating earthquake that struck Ecuador on April 16, Holcim Ecuador Foundation has created the solidarity campaign “Together for Ecuador”. Its main objective is the development of social housing projects and community spaces focused on urgent needs: educational and economic reactivation. It will also contribute to the reconstruction of the most affected cities and neighborhoods in the coastal zone. It is estimated that the natural disaster has destroyed around 8,700 buildings, leaving 600 people dead and more than 16,600 injured.


Shôko Barcelona joins this effort with the celebration of the charity event “10 Cocineros por Ecuador” next Monday, July 4 of this year. The main objective of this event is to raise funds for the construction of schools in the affected areas.


“10 Cocineros por Ecuador” will be made up of 10 chefs who will participate in a cooking show in which they will prepare typical Ecuadorian dishes in their own style accompanied by a cocktail.
