(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 27 – The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, also awarded three plaques for collective actions of young people and very young people who have expressed the values of solidarity with great force. A plaque went to class 5A of primary school, Trasacco comprehensive institute (L’Aquila) “for the strength of their friendship”: they were on a school visit to Rome when they decided to interrupt the trip to the capital out of solidarity with one of their classmates classy. Due to a fault in the platform of the bus, used to allow wheelchair users to get off, their companion would not have been able to participate in the planned visit to the city. After several failed repair attempts, the nine-year-old boys were asked to walk through the streets of the center anyway, as expected. But solidarity and friendship prevailed over everything else: the children refused to go down without their friend. The 5AS, 5BS, 5AC classes of the scientific and classical high school Antonio Segni, Ozieri (Sassari) received the certificate for the testimony of solidarity: during the Christmas holidays they volunteered at the Caritas canteen of Sassari and at the Cross Octagon of Ozieri. This testimony of their service then became a driving force: other peers felt involved and offered their availability as volunteers, acting as spokespersons for the importance of solidarity as a driver of social growth. The “F. Matteucci” school class 2C of the Montalcini comprehensive institute, Campi Bisenzio (Florence) was awarded the plaque “for civil commitment in the emergency”. “They cleaned up the school premises, invaded by water and mud, with dedication and commitment. When the flood hit their area in Tuscany hard, the students of class 2C of the “F. Matteucci” did not hesitate, like many other young people, to do their part to revive their community and the places of daily life. On that occasion the young people worked with a great sense of responsibility and solidarity. In difficulty they supported each other , and not only in the school premises: many have in fact hosted classmates at home who were forced to abandon their homes”. (HANDLE).
