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)

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. |

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. |
