The Son Mesquidassa estate hosted a charity dinner on Saturday with 900 attendees. The Campaner Solidarity oil was presented, and funds were raised to combat the Noma disease in Niger.
A total of 900 people gathered last Saturday at the Son Mesquidassa estate in Felanitx to participate in a charity dinner organized by the Campaner Foundation. The event combined gastronomy, music, and culture with the aim of raising funds for the healthcare programs that the entity develops in Africa, especially against the disease Noma in Niger.
A Mallorcan evening
The day began with a welcome to the attendees accompanied by the xeremiers from Algaida. Guests were able to visit the estate, which houses the most modern oil mill in Mallorca for oil production. The dinner, held in an olive grove setting, was the highlight of the night.
One of the most anticipated moments was the presentation of the Campaner Solidarity oil, a joint initiative of the Campaner Foundation and Son Mesquidassa. The artist Joan Costa, who created the label illustration, donated the original painting, which was auctioned among the attendees. Diners also enjoyed an exhibition featuring works selected by the painter.
Fighting Noma in Niger
The Campaner Foundation focuses its work on the prevention and treatment of Noma, a bacterial disease that destroys facial tissues and primarily affects malnourished children in Africa. In Niger, the entity manages a shelter for patients and their families.
Additionally, the foundation promotes an international Noma observatory, a pioneering network for community surveillance that aims to improve early diagnosis and data collection in several African countries. The goal is to strengthen public health strategies and prevent this disease from continuing to wreak havoc among the child population.
Politicians, artists, and entrepreneurs join the cause
A strong political representation attended the event, led by the president of the Mallorca Council, Llorenç Galmés, and several mayors from the region. The bishop of Mallorca, Sebastià Taltavull, was also present. Guests were welcomed by the businessman Tòfol Rosselló, owner of Son Mesquidassa.
The evening featured performances by the Arpellots Banda and the singer Tomeu Penya, who is very popular on the island. After dinner, a charity raffle was held, conducted by Rosita Forsales, with prizes donated by local businesses and shops.
The Campaner Foundation and Son Mesquidassa expressed their gratitude to all the entities, volunteers, and attendees who made the initiative possible.
“Thank you all for supporting these life-saving projects,” the organizers stated.
The dinner served not only to raise funds but also to raise awareness of a forgotten disease. The solidarity oil, which is now available for purchase, allows consumers to contribute with each purchase. The foundation's next charity event is planned for next year, although the organization does not rule out new actions before that date.
