Xavi Donates Luxury Yacht for Refugee Charity to Auction

Barcelona legend Xavi has done his bit to help victims of the ongoing refugee crisis by donating his luxury yacht to a charity that helps migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea into Europe.

Non-governmental organisation Proactiva Open Arms (POA) will not use the yacht directly but will auction it to the highest bidder and use the money raised to fund its humanitarian work.

The soccer player Xavi Hernandez collaborates with Proactiva Open Arms with the donation of a recreational craft to be auctioned in the near future. He was introduced to our work a while ago and decided to donate his yacht to obtain more resources in order to ensure the permanence of the mission.
