【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2017 年 11月 17 日阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯訊】 ─ 第二屆「布宜諾斯艾利斯為青年跑步(corre por los jóvenes)」，將於12月8日星期五，聖母無玷始胎節舉行。收益將撥歸慈幼會於阿根廷南會省的慈善事業，這些事業一如以往，為支援有需要的兒童及青年。本年度創新之處，在於建立了一個應用程式，內容更廣泛，與競賽相比更為有趣。
應用程式名為「為青年跑一公里(1k por los jóvenes)」，11月1日起可透過Android及iOS設備下載。當下載及登記後，每位使用者便與一家贊助公司建立合作關係，當使用者跑步、步行或踏單車一公里，便能捐助慈幼會社會—教育計劃。
這個計劃有雙重目的：透過運動達致團結。當你們跑步、步行或踏單車時，都能啟動應用程式。
籌募的款項將撥入「阿根廷為青年“Por los jóvenes”基金」不同範疇、不同機構營運的項目，使青少年有所裨益。
工作培育：協助青年學習一種職業；
教育：協助小童就學；
在危險境地的兒童及青少年：支援會受創傷兒童；
慈幼福傳使命：協助傳教士陪伴偏遠郊區的居民；
本土居民：推廣社會對原住民的包容。
計劃推廣人表示：「透過下載應用程式，以及利用你們的體育活動，便能協助數以千計的兒童及青少年，在阿根廷慈幼會士推廣的社會—教育項目中，接受教育及優質培育：把你們的步伐化為教育吧！」
“1k Run for the Young”: solidarity app and race
(ANS – Argentina –Buenos Aires, 17 November 2017) – The second edition of “Buenos Aires corre por los jóvenes” takes place on Friday, December 8, Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. The funds gathered at the charity run organized by the Salesians of the Argentina South Province shall, again this year, support needy children and young people. This year’s novelty is the launch of an application whose scope may be broader and more interesting than the competition itself.
The app is called “1k por los jóvenes”, and is available for downloaded starting November 1 on Android and iOS devices. After downloading and registering it on their devices, each user thus collaborates with a sponsoring company; for each km the user runs, walks or pedals a cash donation is paid to a Salesian social-educational project.
The proposal has a dual purpose: to bind a gesture of solidarity to a sporting event. The app can be activated whenever you go for a walk, run or bike ride.
Funds raised will be used to help in the various areas of the “Por los jóvenes” Foundation in Argentina for the benefit of the young people with whom the Foundation works in various sectors.
- Formation to work: helping young people learn a trade;
- Education: helping all children attend school;
- Children and young people at risk: supporting vulnerable children;
- Salesian Missions: helping missionaries accompany the inhabitants of remote rural areas;
- Native Populations: promoting Social Inclusion of Indigenous Peoples.
“By downloading the app and using your physical activities, you can help thousands of children and young people get education and quality formation through the social-educational projects promoted by Salesians in Argentina: Transform your steps into education!”, say the project’s promoters.
