    “Rumbo Solidario” is a sport association which offers us the human side of sports through sport challenges and it pursues charity aims. This summer they will swim across the Strait of Gibraltar to build a school in India and get a caravan of food for the Saharawi refugee camps in Tindouf (Algeria). “Rumbo Solidario” collaborates with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation and Association for Friendship with the children of the Saharawi people of Cordoba (ACANSA) to meet these goals.
