Our satellite projects send Bruce Argentina volunteers into the most deprived barrios
where the poorest children live. Local
volunteers are helping. The first two satellite centres
are here, Cerro Pesqueda, and La Esperanza. On Monday 08 November,
this barren brick building - without water or electricity (kindly
made available to us by the Mayor of Pesqueda) - was converted into
a three classroom mini school. Here 27 unschooled children were waiting
for us to begin preparing them for school. |
