Project Report | Jan 30, 2026
What Happens When You Show Up

By Patricio Marquinez | Program Director

As we wrapped up 2025, something truly special happened in our rural schools in Santiago del Estero: a group of volunteers traveled all the way from the United States to be here, with our students, in our classrooms, on the ground.

Their visit was filled with moments that none of us will ever forget. Together, we delivered new water filters to the schools, ensuring access to safe drinking water. We carried out infrastructure improvements, making one of the schools safer and more welcoming. And perhaps most importantly, we led interactive workshops and leadership activities with the students, focused on helping them see themselves as agents of change in their own communities.

For the volunteers, it was a journey of deep connection, witnessing the power of education, resilience, and joy in places far from home. And for the children, it was the kind of experience that leaves a mark: being seen, celebrated, and encouraged by people from across the world who believe in their potential.

This is the heart of our project. Education that goes beyond textbooks. Connections that go beyond borders.

At Fundación San Genaro, we believe that everyone, no matter where they live, should have the chance to be part of something meaningful. Whether you live in a rural town or a big city halfway across the globe, you can visit, learn, share, and grow alongside these incredible communities.

Thank you for making this possible. Your support creates moments of transformation, for the kids, for the volunteers, and for all of us working toward a more connected and compassionate world.

We can’t wait to welcome more friends in 2026. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be the next to come visit.
