"We got together a group of local athletes and artists to try to channel donations from all over the country and abroad as well and take it to those who need it most. soon we will pass the CBU to make bank transfers and for cash donations. They can also donate items that the municipality is asking for," Manu continued.
The former Olympic champion with the National Team explained that live donations can be taken to the "Dow Center" and that there will also be the possibility in different parts of the country that "will soon be announced," he said.
