In each locality, sports clinics and motivational talks aimed at juveniles take over activities and generate revolutionary changes in their lives and in their communities were provided.

Five years accompanying the development process of the Social Rugby clubs across the country led to a greater involvement by Solidarity booties and their beneficiaries, generating a new form of management from 2017. After making 11 regional meetings in various provinces last year the focus was on visiting each of the initiatives, meet first people the problems that afflict them and generate them greater visibility: not only to the outside, but mainly internally, allowing greater arrival municipalities, companies and individuals from civil society.

Breaking the barriers that rugby is a violent sport, encourage the idea that all the comrades can play and to focus primarily on what is a very powerful tool for education weapon, were key proposals for this year, gave impetus to a new project.
