The company has adapted and transported nine modular classrooms to Larrodé School.
The company ARPA, in collaboration with the Sesé Foundation, has taken its social commitment a step further, this time with the educational community of Catarroja, affected by the devastating effects of the DANA storm. The company has adapted and transported nine modular classrooms to Larrodé School, allowing secondary and sixth form students to resume classes as normal from 3 February.
The floods caused by the DANA had left the school without adequate spaces for the development of academic activities, seriously affecting the students, especially those preparing for the University Entrance Exam (PAU). Although classes were held online, the lack of social contact and an adequate school environment was beginning to have an emotional impact on the young people and generate uncertainty among their families.
Thanks to this ARPA initiative, the students of Larrodé School will be able to return to the classrooms, now equipped with everything necessary to guarantee a quality face-to-face education. The modular classrooms, installed on the school grounds, have been designed to comply with educational standards and provide a safe and comfortable environment.
Commitment to solidarity in action
ARPA's decision to intervene in Catarroja is part of a broader commitment to the Valencian community, previously reflected in its ‘No estáis solos’ (You are not alone) project. This initiative provided more than 80,000 hot meals to those affected by the DANA, demonstrating the company's ability to mobilise resources and generate a positive impact in emergency situations.
On this occasion, ARPA prioritised the urgent need for suitable educational spaces, responding quickly and effectively to address a problem that transcended the material and affected the emotional well-being of the students.
The installation of the modular classrooms not only guarantees educational continuity, but also represents a relief for families and a boost for students, who will be able to return to an environment that favours learning and social interaction.
The delivery of these modular classrooms to the Larrodé School in Catarroja is an example of the positive impact that corporate social responsibility can generate. With this, ARPA has demonstrated its speed and efficiency in emergency situations, contributing to the well-being of those most affected and reaffirming its commitment to society.
This act of solidarity not only marks a before and after for the students of the Larrodé School, but also establishes a role model for future interventions in communities affected by natural disasters.
