Experience, Adventure and solidarity Unidesert with FS foundation as a sponsor.

J.Ferran Mallol Herrera and Emilio Monferrer Gimeno came back some days ago from a great human, sportive and solidary adventure sponsored by Francisco Segarra foundation. UNIDESERT.

A raid race for students between the ages 18 and 28 years old, it lasted 9 days around Morocco in cars older than 20 years with a max 1300 cc, excluding the 4×4 farming or commercial vehicles.

The fifth edition takes place on the 27th of February to 6th of March, it has been a real personal adventure for both participants, where the importance of the race has not been the speed, but the objective.

To reach the finish line thanks to the mutual support and teamwork . to confront challenges in each stage with persistence, cooperation, effort. A unique experience in the African arid lands, that forge the character and modifies the values of the participants.

The solidary current of the raid, to transport a minimum of solidary material like clothing, school material, sanitary and non-perishable foods, from each team to be given in the poorest towns of the dessert Marroquí was what made Francisco Segarra  to sponsor this great adventure.

We have to highlight that the team composed by Ferran and Monferrer were able to load between 70 to 80 kg.

UNIDESERT combines Experience, Training, Adventure and solidarity.

With only a compass, a map and illusion J.Ferran and Emilio Monferrer  have completed a complex itinerary, overcoming mountains, dunes and rivers; orientation challenges ability and strategy, they come back with the satisfaction of overcoming an exceptional challenge, great friends with new personal point of views towards future challenges.

The trip has been an unforgettable experience, specially about solidarity.

We have learned so much, to respect, team work, to understand and value basic things that here we have every day, but over there is not like that.

We have seen landscapes that we tough were not real, a sky full of stars without a centimetre of space for more, stars that made it look like daylight.  Plain and infinite deserts where I could see the curved horizon giving shape to the planet.

They say that until you see a sunset in the dessert is like you never seen it before and they are right, to see the sun hiding behind the dunes is indescribable.

With this type of trips you find out many more things, but most of all you human values as for cohabitation with your partner like the people from another country with a culture you don’t even know the name but you open up and give all you have.
