Farewell Pamela

THE expat world is in mourn‐ing over the loss of a true pillar of the community.

Each year the event fo‐cuses on a specific area of life in the town such as monuments, school memories, fiestas or cui‐sine, and this year the fo‐cus is marriage and wed‐ding ceremonies.

The council has com‐piled more than 750 photographs dating back to the years 1913 to 1987, donated by resi‐dents interested in taking part in the project.

Meaning don’t try to do too many things at the same time, focus on one thing at a time. This proverb dates back to the mid-1500s and is derived from the trade of blacksmithing.

Pamela Dawson Tasker is a name that will undoubtedly be very familiar to many on the Costa Blanca. More than 40 years of tireless work with nu‐merous charities and activism in local affairs, politics and jour‐nalism made her an ubiqui‐tous presence at events and in the media since she moved to the area from London in 1980.

A proud Alfaz del Pi resident, her list of honours includes re‐ceiving a British Empire Medal in 2014 for her charity work and services to expats and an award by Alfaz Town Hall last year in recognition for her so‐cial work.

Pamela set up the Benidorm branch of the Royal British Le‐gion and became the local president of the Spanish Asso‐ciation Against Cancer. She al‐so worked closely with the British Consulate on a wide range of issues.

The images will form the basis of a book cur‐rently being edited by the town hall exploring local wedding traditions from the 20th century, offering a historical ac‐count of social customs.

All aspects relating to marriage, including courtship, dresses, the church ceremony and the banquet, among oth‐ers, are being compiled as well as archive infor‐mation.

Sex education in Villajoyosa

MORE than 920 students aged 14 to 21 from the three secondary education colleges in Villajoyosa have taken part in a sexual violence prevention course.

The course, which also focused on families and teachers and was organised by the local council’s Social Services and Equality department, was aimed at preventing sexual and gender violence linked to pornography.

The overall message of the campaign was to “stress the importance of affective and sexual education at all ages to counteract the disinformation spread by the increase in consumption of pornography among teenagers and young adults,” in the words of councillor Asun Lloret.

Participants also analysed issues such as the relationship between pornography, prostitution and people trafficking, the importance of consent in sexual relations, and the need for young people to have a space to ask any questions and solve doubts they may have.
