PIRELLI AND INTER CAMPUS TOGETHER IN MEXICO

The week of coaching and teaching for the Mexican Inter Campus Coaches finished today. It was run by Juri Monzani and Silvio Guareschi together with local coach and contact Karla Gutiérrez. At the Deportiva Comunal di Silao (Guanajuato), Pirelli organised the ‘Tournament of Friendship’ with Head of CSR Victor Manzano and HR Director Raul Bojorquez, who both acted as official representatives. This was held to celebrate the presence of the Italian party and it created a special focal point for the children who’ve been involved in the project.

The Nerazzurri’s social programme in Silao was born in 2012 when the Pirelli factory was opened. It was set up with the task of supporting development and social inclusion for children in need in collaboration with local foundation Casa Hogar Peter Pan.

“Support for this kind of project is evidence of Pirelli’s social commitment to the Guanajuato area. Our company cannot just develop projects but it must above all think about the well-being of the inhabitants of Guanajuato and give them chance to play sport and not be out on the streets,” said the Pirelli Director Tom Grávalos. “This new Tournament of Friendship which is like the female tournament that we organise every year and it’s proof that we’ll stay here for a long time.”

“At the moment, Inter Campus works in Silao with 150 boys and girls thanks to the support of Pirelli. They are the children of employees and children from deprived communities in the area near to Puerto Interior,” said the Inter Campus Mexico Organisational Manager Christian Valerio adding that the goal is to “educate and support the local community.”
