Together, across the Strait of Messina: we did it, together!
A few days ago, a team of volunteers from Isla ng Bata (including Alessia Zecchini, a multiple world freediving champion) accomplished a new sporting feat: together with Francesco, our president, they swam across the Strait of Messina. The goal, as always, was to raise awareness for the plight of many children in the Philippines and to raise funds for our family home. We’ll tell you how it went and provide links to see photos of this epic day and to donate. Thank you all!
