Description: Poverty since the devaluation combined with a lack of appropriate education and family planning has resulted in millions of indigent children in Argentina whose parents cannot adequately provide for their basic needs such as food, clothing and a proper education. We aspire to help change these children's situation by providing caring and nurturing volunteers to work and play with them. Many non profit organizations support and protect these children. Your assistance helps keep them off the street, provides them with a happy and productive childhood, and inspires them to better future opportunities.

For these children, the time spent with a foreign volunteer is perhaps the only exposure to other cultures and places they may ever have since they do not have access to means like the Internet or cable TV. It is difficult to describe how inspirational this can be in the children's lives. By sharing their knowledge, skills, life experiences and time, volunteers to these projects make a meaningful contribution to the future of these children.
