|  We pursue our mission of getting Latin America's out-of-school
children [20% of all kids] educated in 3 phases:
1- Find the children
2- Teach them, then
integrate them into regular schools.
3-
Launch a campaign
to make the Government recognize these children and tae over our work of getting
them educated.

It takes 2 Years !.
When we find a child, convince the mother to let us get him or her educated, take
them into our little school, give them their first lessons; finally get them up
to the level of education for their age, and matriculate them into a state school
(paying for uniforms and all expenses): our work for that child is only just begun
(2 years)
Above are club meetings 7
June 2006 | 
We continue to work with each child, and will do so for the next two years. Visiting
every month for a "Club Meeting" , at which we monitor their progress,
give prizes, work with their techers, our Social Workers see how things are going
at school, at home: and we pay for wehatever their parents cannon or will not.
We do this for two years. | |  For
more than 2 years we have been preparing for and fretting over our project to
help pregnant at-risk teens, and finally - in January - we got it off the ground.
Now it flies.

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. |
