Dear Friends: The end of the year has arrived, and by sharing with you the latest achievements through the Sumando Manos Foundation we want to seize the opportunity to thank everyone for your help in 2023. That means the donors, teachers, directors, and compassionate people who have collaborated throughout the year.
BEEKEEPING PROJECT IN MISIONES, ARGENTINA
The Beekeeping project consists of installing hives in communities and schools throughout the city of Misiones, providing training to teachers who will, in turn, transmit those skills to older students in their villages. The project also consists of building new hives for each location, a beekeeping specialist and all the necessary material to carry out the project.
It started with 5 villages: so far 3 hives have been installed in each Village: Caramelito, Chafariz, Ara Poty, Ygua Porá and Ytá Piru. (obtain honey for community consumption) and 20 hives to market the honey in order to make it sustainable in the future.
Sumando Manos helps by providing transport for the necessary material: wood for bases, boxes, and tools to install hives, transportation of beekeeping experts and trainers as well as personnel to perform in these difficult to access locations.
SCHOOLS
We have collaborated in sending donations and breakfast to our schools throughout the year. In the pictures below, we show you the joy of children receiving donations and celebrating the end of classes in Schools: 916 El Gramillar, Chaco – 130 Batalla de Salta – 1015 Pampa del Indio, Chaco, and Escuela Guillermo Donaire, El Soberbio, Misiones.
Congratulations to all the 2023 graduates!!
