Dear friends:

NEWS FROM OUR HELPING HANDS

SANTA CLARA CIVIL ASSOCIATION

After 2 years of the pandemic, on April 25, solidarity trips with doctors and dentists to visit our schools were restarted, providing medical assistance for teachers and students.

On these trips, a survey of the building situation of the schools is also being carried out to provide them with infrastructure assistance to maintain the safety of the children.

SCHOOLS

ONGOING CAMPAIGN - “ BREAKFAST & LUNCH FOR A CHILD”

We need US$3 per child to cover breakfast and lunch

Due to the need that has been generated by the lack of food in the cafeterias of our schools in Chaco (Pampa del Indio and Villa Berthet), as well as in Misiones (El Soberbio), the purchase of food for lunch as well as breakfast was implemented, we have started this campaign, which is added to "One breakfast per child" with which we aspire to complement a healthy and nutritious diet for the physical and mental health of our growing children.

To all our donors for the support they always give us, without which we would not be able to carry out any of the projects that we continue to support throughout these 17 years.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Drinking Water Tanks installation

By Alejandro Itkin | Board Member

Despite the pandemic, Sumando Manos Foundation continues to work in solidarity within the areas of critical need in Argentina.

The Local Communities in Salta, Chaco and Misiones are facing many challenges of all kinds, but the most important one is access to clean and safe drinking water. There is hardly any rainfall, which brings about a drought, so the families depend on the water provided by the municipality.

With your help! Sumando Manos Foundation will purchase, deliverer and install thirteen (13) 1000 liter tanks in 13 schools we regularly sponsor. With this action, we will help at least 600 students. The schools to sponsored in this campaign are as follows: es:

EX.EGB N°55-Anexo De La E.E.P N°157, Chaco, Paraje Rincon Del Zorro, La Leonesa
EEP 297, Chaco, Lote 39 Colonia El Aborigen El Aguara Machagai
EEP 862, Chaco, Lote 39 Colonia Aborigen, Zona Legisa Machagai
EEP 395, Chaco, Paraje Pampa Ombu Machagai
EEP 961 Sarapi Francisco Soria, Chaco, Pje. Central Norte, Miraflores
EEP 932, Chaco, Pje. Pozo El Algarrobo/Pje Las Margaritas, Miraflores
EEP 916 Juan Jose Castelli, Chaco, Paraje El Gramillar, Pampa Del Indio
Anexo EEP 916 Tomas Acevedo, Chaco, Paraje La Gloria, Pampa Del Indio
EEP 201 Soldado Victor Ofelio Ávalos, Chaco, Ruta Provincial N 4 Lote 8, Samuhu
EEP 371 “Ernesto Ocampo”, Chaco, Pje. El Baño, Villa Berthet
EEP 718 “Ex Combatientes De Malvinas”, Chaco, Lote 18, Villa Berthet
Unidad Ed. Albergue Batalla De Salta N° 4130, Salta, Rosario De La Frontera, Paraje Sta. Maria
ESC. 373/01 Guillermo Donaire, Misiones, Pje. El Boton, El Soberbio

From now on, when it rains, the tanks can be used to collect rain water and save it for future use and, in the event of a drought, the municipality can fill up the tanks and the families will avoid having to travel long distances for water.

For this reason, we are starting this campaign to raise US$ 5,200 to buy, transport, and install the tanks which will benefit more than 600 children.

We need your help to provide a solution to this sad reality.
