Superheroes are not just the ones who wear capes, tight pants, bionic suits and go out in the movies.
No, the real superheroes are those who are at street level, every day demonstrating that great things can be done, helping others, making people who need it most receive support, help, education, medical care.
Of course, if those in the cape and the bionic suit come to lend a hand to the authentic superheroes, then better than better.
Save the Children partners with Marvel to find authentic superheroes, of those who think and work for others.
AdvertisingFrom today until the end of the year, Marvel Studios is going to donate to Save the Children, five dollars for each photo that fans of Marvel superheroes, upload to the web disguised as the superhero they like or with which they feel more identified.
He is Benedict Cumberbatch, the next "Doctor Strange", the next great Marvel movie premiere.
Parts of this film were shot in some areas of Nepal and after knowing the place first hand, the film team wanted to collaborate with the children of the area, with their communities after all, with their future.
Now, it's his own Benedict Cumberbatch in charge of announcing to the world this new solidarity initiative of Marvel Studios called "Hero Acts".
Save the Children will be the NGO to which all proceeds from this new initiative are earmarked. They will be in charge of giving hope and help to thousands of children around the world, many of them in Haiti, where all possible humanitarian assistance is needed again.
A picture is 5 dollars
The photo has to be uploaded to the Hero Acts gallery and can also be shared on other social networks using the hashtags #marvelstudios and #heroacts.
Will be 5 dollars for each of the photos up to a maximum of one million dollars, a figure with which Save the Children could make great heroics on the ground, in the different countries where he has been working for decades.
From Save the Children they are delighted to be the first NGO with which Marvel studies collaborate through this new initiative that has started these days.
Quality children's education, learning (one of the key pieces in the "Doctor Strange" story itself) of children, is one of the priorities of Save the Children.
This NGO has always opted for the vital importance of the education of children, as a tool essential for them to break the circle of poverty and leave a destination marked for them because of the endemic illiteracy of certain areas of the world.
But in addition, emergency situations such as the devastation caused by Hurricane Mathew in Haiti or the drama of children fleeing with their families from the wars in Syria or Yemen, are fronts in which thousands are working anonymously of volunteers and NGO workers like Save the Children, the real superheroes, those who don't need a cape but other kind of help.
