      GERENTE

      Esta es mi Obra Social, quería aplicar mis conocimientos en gestión y en organización de eventos para ayudar a las personas que están faltas de recursos básicos.El Llar Cultural de Benimaclet es una Asociación sin ánimo de lucro donde todos los beneficios están destinados a diferentes ONG's,a saber: Cáritas, Economato, etc.Aunque la organización funciona desde desde el 2006, no contaba con una gestión óptima, es por eso que cuando en diciembre una viaja amiga me cuenta el proyecto que están realizando y me propone que gestione el local de manera altruista, no dudé un instante en aceptar el reto.Mi función allí es explotar de manera eficaz y eficiente el local, organizando eventos del tipo gastronómico, artístico, recreativo o social. Con el fin de incrementar los ingresos y poder realizar una mayor aportación económica a las personas y organizaciones con las que colaboramos.
