Milonga para los Niños Tangueros helping abandoned children

By Ute Neumaier, Buenos Aires

Belén was two months old when her drug-addicted mother left her on a public highway. That today this baby has a decent life and a roof over her head is due, among other things, to tango, and in particular to the organization Milonga para los Niños. Read in news >>

What do we do?

We like to have fun, but there is a serious side to our fundraising. This year has seen the early completion of Stage 3 (Verandahs) at Civil Los Horneros Foster Home. See the progress on this video:

What's next?

We are now in a position to turn our mind to skills development and training for the children at Civil Los Horneros and Hogar Siand.

Los Horneros is now partnering with local schools to provide on-premises schooling that will allow young people to complete high school. Here is a photo of the school house that is being converted.

We are working with an organisation that will provide training and mentoring to establish market gardening and landscaping skills. We propose to establish the gardens for productivity and pleasure.

We are also pursuing opportunities with the One Laptop Per Child Program, bringing technology skills to children.

Dance For The Children

Dance is a uniquely human expression of joy and hope for mankind.

Tango is communication without words. It is an embrace.

Milonga Para Los Niños reaches out to embrace the children of Argentina and Latin America to bring hope and joy to their lives in return for their gift to the world of Tango and Latin music and dance.

Our Core Values

Our charity's core values are:

To direct our aid directly to people and organisations who add value.
Event Organisers may pay direct expenses, but organisers must not charge for their services.
The organisation keeps its expenses to a minimum, so as to distribute the maximum funds to the beneficiaries.
Organisers give preference to suppliers who donate or discount their services.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build a community of annual milongas (tango dances) and Latin dances around the world to improve and bring joy to the lives of children in South America.

You can help by offering one dance per year.

Inuit

"Now the people will know we were here”
The Symbol for Sociedad Para Los Niños includes the Canadian Inukshuk. It expresses the values of our people.
The Inukshuk is a powerful symbol of humanity, cooperation and trust and faith in people.

The Inuit people of North America erected these stone guardians to give passers-by the comfort of knowing that they are not alone, to give guidance, strength and motivation. They were erected to mark good hunting and fishing spots, sacred places and at times the location of buried food to sustain unknown travellers.

It is an expression of selfless sharing and caring for those you may never know. It is recognition that we are all fellow travellers on this earth and dependent upon one another for love and life.
