Chakall, who was in charge of the action preparing meals, ended the day visibly satisfied with the result. “Being able to count on so many partners in an action of this nature is very rewarding. As I often say, we are family, they are more than companies or business partners. They are friends, they are family and together we are always stronger! Special thanks to everyone who made this action possible and answered ‘Present!’ In the first minute! At this very peculiar time, it is important to give back to those who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe and healthy! ”
