This report of our activities is super special! We started 2018 Education Program with great news: we are opening the program at another place of Villa 21-24, the biggest slum in the City of Buenos Aires, for other 100 children that live here!
Since 2012, we've been working alonside the Parrish of the neighbourhood to promote quality education for 100 girls and boys ages 6 to 13 that live in poverty conditions, as well as their families. This place has become a home for many children that would be alone at their homes if they didn't attend to the Education Program half of the day, since their parents are working. It's also an opportunity for them to learn new skills, be parte of artistic and recreational workshops, as well as learn a new language (with native English speakers as teachers).
After witnessing the positive impact that this space has for the children, we made an extra effort (in which you were involved since you make this program possible) to take it to other parts of the neighbourhood. More than 17.000 families live in Villa 21-24, so we know much more help is needed.
For now, 30 children ages 6 to 13 are participating in this new place, but by July, 100 more children will take part of its activitives, with tutors, school materials, art and sports teachers, and an English teacher as well. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE. Take a look at the new classrooms!
