Concordia
Marbella based charity association helping AIDS
sufferers on the Costa del Sol formed in 1994, the inspiration
of Chello Mas Montorio
and Baroness Elinee Vittinghof-Schell. The original Concordia Day
was opened in San Pedro Alcantara on April 1997. The Centre
moved
to new premises in 2003 also in San Pedro to calle Carlota Navarrete,
nº 21. It is now the focal point of AIDS care in this part
of the coast and has one full time and one part time employees
and
is helped by a host of international volunteers, AIDS sufferers
and their families.
As with all non-governmental organisations, funding
is always a problem, so Concordia raises money throughout the year
with events that include an annual summer Gala, a Flag Day on International
Aids Day on 1st December, and an annual magazine. In June 1999,
Concordia received the prestigious Premio Promocio de la Salud award
for services to humanity from the Colegio Oficial de Medicos de
la Provincia de Malaga in recognition of the world the association
does with respect to AIDS prevention and education.
