Pediatric Services in Remote Areas of Argentina

Despite the pandemic, Sumando Manos continues working towards the goal of helping the neediest children in Argentina. That is why we continue to provide breakfast and non-perishable food items without interruption to the following schools and communities: 

• Intercultural Bilingue School Nº 905 in Paraje Picada Guarani, El Soberbio, Misiones immersed in the Mbya Guaraní Community         
• Aldea Ygua Porá Satellite Classroom 
• Aldea Caramelito Satellite Classroom
• Aldea Chafariz Kindergarten Satellite Classroom

• “Ofelia Lisa de Trejo” Center - Ushuaia
• Food delivery was intensified and a special food delivery was made for Mother's Day.
• More than 50 students enrolled to take online courses, not only from the town of Ushuaia but also from the town of Tolhuin. Most of the chosen courses were: - Basic English - ABC of social networks, Coaching, Entrepreneurs-- how to start in the virtual market - 

• Water Project for "Los Blancos"
• The Wichi and “Criollo” communities of Salta suffer from constant water shortages due to droughts, further aggravated by the pandemic. 200 families with approximately 1000 children had to travel up to 48 kilometers by bicycle or motorcycle regularly to fill cans and other containers with water provided by the city government.
• Sumando Manos carried out a campaign to buy 200 tanks (1 per family) of 600 liters capacity to collect rainwater when it rains, and store water when the city government provides it.
• After two months of intense work, the 200 water tanks were delivered in the town of Los Blancos, Salta, allowing these families to have water during the drought without having to travel to the supply centers to collect it.

We want to thank everyone who joins hands to help us during these challenging times; we ask that you continue to trust in our work and accompany us. Such actions touch our hearts in a very special way.

Thank you, always thank you!!
