The charity focuses on the local scale in order to provide a better-suited and longer-lasting impact. COCO bases its work on listening to the needs of each population and working alongside local leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(255, 147, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(255, 147, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 16px; \">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; \"><span style=\"font-kerning: none\">As a supporter of the charity\u2019s values and actions, Herculis donated two packages of two VIP seats for this year\u2019s edition which were sold at an auction during a charity event hosted by British decathlete Daley Thompson, 1980 and 1984 Olympic winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 16px; \">\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; \"><span style=\"font-kerning: none\">The Herculis prize raised \u00a34,200 which went towards one of COCO\u2019s Schools for Life project, a secondary school called Kindimba in rural Southern Tanzania.
