Cáritas Portuguesa, in partnership with Cáritas Diocesana do Funchal, promotes on September 12 and 13, Saturday and Sunday, a new edition of the National Food Collection Campaign. The initiative, known as the "Bag Campaign", will take place at Pingo Doce commercial outlets in Madeira and Porto Santo.

The campaign counts on the support of volunteers who will be present at the supermarkets to collect donations from customers. The main objective is to raise food goods to support families in situations of greater vulnerability in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.

This is not the first edition of this campaign, as there was a previous edition that took place during the same period, demonstrating the ongoing nature of this solidarity action. Cáritas has been carrying out these initiatives on a regular basis to meet the growing needs for food support in the region.

The second giant panda cub born in South Korea turns 100 days old and gets a new name

A zoo in South Korea revealed the name of a giant panda cub born at its facility, coinciding with its 100 days of life. The cub will be named Shu Bao, which in Chinese means "a treasure as bright as the light of dawn." The name was selected through a vote on social media and a public voting event that had the participation of 10,000 people. Shu Bao, born on June 3 at the Everland theme park, near Seoul, is the third youngest sister of Fu Bao, the first giant panda born in South Korea, who gained great popularity in the country before returning to China. The cub's parents, Ai Bao and Le Bao, arrived in South Korea from China's Sichuan province in 2016 as part of China's "panda diplomacy."
