Ricola Boxing Gym gets equipment from Venezuelans

In a simple presentation yesterday at the Venezuelan Embassy a quantity of boxing equipment was donated to the Donald Allison Ricola Boxing Gym by Venezuelan Ambassador Dario Morandy through the Benschop Foundation.
The donation was made with the objective of getting youths involved in the sport and keeping them away from negative activities.

Both the Benschop Foundation and Ricola expressed their gratitude for the boxing equipment.
