 TRIP TO THE PROVINCE OF SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO

The Santa Clara Civil Association volunteers made its third trip of the year, on this occasion we would like to share with you the details of the trip so that you can experience a little the way in which it is carried out: “In a total journey of one week, they leave very early from Buenos Aires bound for the city of Añantuya, a volunteer driving a van with a trailer, 2 dentists and a nurse.

Every morning a school is visited, on this trip Schools 297 and 845 were visited in Tala Atun, and School 817 in Paraje Taco Totorayo. Upon the arrival of the group, the directors or teachers in charge await them, the food items are downloaded along with the other miscellaneous donations and the classrooms are prepared so the medical personnel can provide medical attention to the students and adults present. At noon a lunch is prepared for everyone and gifts are distributed to the children. Before leaving, teachers and the adults in charge received instructions on hygiene, health and oral care. The day usually ends by going to buy food for the next schools to be visited the following day”.

Total amount of children who received medical care: 196
