The Moment They Opened Their Backpacks

By Patricio Marquinez | Program Director

Dear Friends,

We’re happy to share that, thanks to your support and the generosity of donors from our campaign in Argentina, we were able to reach our goal: 400 students from 15 rural schools received their school supplies.

Each kit carried much more than notebooks, pencils, folders, and markers. For these children, it meant starting the school year with the tools they need, the confidence to participate in class, and the joy of knowing that someone was thinking of them.

One of the most beautiful moments was watching the children receive their backpacks. They opened them right away, carefully looked through each item, compared pencils and notebooks with their classmates, smiled, laughed, and held their supplies with pride. In those simple gestures, we could see the true impact of this project.

For many rural families, buying school supplies is a real challenge. By helping provide these kits, you helped remove an important barrier to learning and gave each child a stronger, more hopeful start to the school year.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible. Whether your support came through GlobalGiving or through our local campaign in Argentina, you helped bring joy, dignity, and opportunity to 400 rural students.

Thank you for believing in their education and for being part of this beautiful achievement.

With gratitude,

Fundación San Genaro Team
