Soc. Para Los Niños is about to commence our first project with Con el Corazón en las Manos...
But who are they and what do they do?
Here is a synopsis of the foundation, its members and their work:
OUR VISION
"Helping at-risk communities"
Every year since 1999, we travel over 1200 miles to the Province of Salta, or to be more precise, to the department of Rivadavia, in the region of South Bermejo in the Chaco Salteño, and take donations to different schools, aid stations and the Gobernador Solá Hospital, where Wichí, Chorotes, Chané and Creole families attend.
We feel and see the abandonment and the silent suffering of these outcast Argentines, that is why we look for them in ever more desolate areas.
WHO ARE WE
Con el corazón en las manos… was created by a group of teachers and parents from our school [in Buenos Aires - Ed) on September 15th, 1999.
The people in our team are:
Emilce Giori, president.
Miguel López, treasurer.
Susana Tosello, secretary.
Antonia Sanchez.
Javier Barrera.
Nora Asteriti.
Olga Berho.
Marcelo Daniele.
Edith Giorgio.
Cristina Boujón.
Mercedes Avellaneda.
WHY DO WE DO IT
Working towards equality is a mission for peace.
This project supports the aboriginal cause, the respect for the different ethnic groups and equality as a means of humanizing how people behave, not just children, adults as well.
Knowing there are needs other than ours is the foundation of this project, to collaborate with a change that is not a Utopia, but a pressing necessity within the framework for peace.
We work for the union and balance of mind and heart, for values such as love, solidarity, teamwork and the love for our roots.
WHAT WE DO
We personally give our humanitarian aid direct to the people and institutions, without assistance or interference from any public or private welfare organisation.
