Rubén Márquez, an Airfarm Group employee, and his sister Aída Márquez, embarked in the Mongol Rally adventure on the summer of 2009.
This benefit consisted of driving a vehicle from a spot in the "western world" to a orphanage in Mongolia's capital city, 14.000 km away, Ulan Bator.
This journey went over both European countries: Spain, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and Ukraine; and Asian countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
The whole trip amounted to a total of 29 days.
Along with other 550 vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks…, a public auction took place, so that the money it made would go to infrastructural investments, while other vehicles were donated to be used for public services.
Airfarm Group took part by donating the vehicle the Marquez brothers travelled in, which was auctioned at destination (Nissan Micra 1.0) for charity.
