It is usual for the different television news presenters to combine their main work with other tasks. In some cases, these are related to volunteering and collaboration in different NGOs, and one of the best examples is that of the journalist Cristina Saavedra.
The Galician, the main face of the nightly edition of La Sexta Noticias for many years, shares the presentation of the news program with her work at the head of the Global Humanitarian organization in the Ivory Coast. There she has had the opportunity to educate a large number of women, and she has told it so on her social profiles.
The group with which Saavedra has worked is made up of "50 women from Kafanadougou", in the African country, who have not received any type of education as it is limited only to men. "It's exciting," she has recounted in the thread that she has written on Twitter to that effect.
"As girls they were not allowed to go to school. They are farmers but in the market, commanded by men, they cheated them. Not anymore," she continued, reflecting on the positive effects of literacy on women in the Ivory Coast.
Cristina Saavedra's words on social networks attest to how enriching the experience has been for the presenter. "They do know how to read and write. They have learned. Their teacher helps them but it is exciting to see how their classmates listen too," she insisted in the thread, which she has accompanied with videos of women learning mathematics and reading.
Saavedra concluded by addressing them with some touching words: "They are strength and dignity. I love you infinitely," he wrote on Twitter. In it, she has received the support of other colleagues, such as Ana Bernal-Triviño, who claims to have been "very moved by the video."
