Our campaign:
"DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR STREET CHILDREN!" is beginning
to pick up momentum in centres where lots of international tourists
are encountering Argentina's child laborers on a daily
basis.The object of the campaign is to recruit volunteers from
the tourist population who visit Argentina each year, |

New satellite projects send Bruce Argentina volunteers into the most deprived barrios
where the poorest children live. Local
volunteers are helping.
The first two satellite centres
are here, Cerro Pesqueda, and La Esperanza. By next Monday 08 November,
this barren brick building - without water or electricity (kindly
made available to us by the Mayor of Pesqueda) - will be converted
into a three classroom mini school. Here 27 unschooled children will
be waiting for us to begin the process of preparing them to enter
school, as soon as they are ready. |
What
the devil is going on in Trujillo?! In the 08.04
news update we announced the opening of a second centre. But now it
is closed - why?
