What a period Europe suddenly dumped into in March 2020!
By Anne Solheim
Quickly after a traumatic fact of a worldwide pandemic and a total lockdown of society in Spain, we established a project in the middle of this challenging time, a charity project with a business approach. A business approach in the context that we anchored an idea in the mind of four businesspeople – entrepreneurs – who never had done business together.
We took it all the way from thoughts to real life – with technical solutions and support organizations – in a rapid tempo. Because it was urgent to start, but the time limit to the endpoint of the work was unknown when we started. The only thought we had about the future termination was that we wanted to continue to the point when Spain would start to open a bit more than the total lockdown demanded.
Briefly said: This extraordinary situation triggered us to do our first external project called Torrevieja-Corona-Fundraising. And this we did with success across Europe by information technology, a digital fundraising project.
April 2, 2020, the work started together with Ulrich Brack and his idea, with an official call: PLEASE HELP PEOPLE TO SURVIVE THROUGH THE COMING PERIOD! And our main goal was to raise as much money as possible to help elderly, weak, poor people survive the situation we suddenly faced in Spain.
June 3, 2020, was the date of mission accomplished of the work – as a project through us. You can read more details here: All about the money we raised and who we worked with etc.: www.facebook.com/TorreviejaCoronaFundRaising/
