Help Argentina




 

I read this post of TreeHugger and thought this was a worth charity.  I’d never heard of it before, but they give several examples of how something as little as $10USD can make a difference. 

-Donate one month of a scholarship for a student in a rural school, to allow them to finish their secondary school studies;

-Buy one veterinary first aid kit for farmers from the Argentine “gran chaco” with sufficient materials to attend five goats;

-Secure access for one child with cancer to the Pain Relief Program, designed to reduce pain produced by shots, identified by the children as “the worst part of the treatment.”;

-Buy 90 bricks for a poor family in Buenos Aires province to build or improve their homes;

-Pay a professor one hour to train 40 teachers in rural schools for them to know how to promote reading among children;

-Donate one camera for a student in the workshop ‘ph15′, which helps teenagers who live in poor or dangerous neighborhoods overcome exclusion via photographic expression;

-Give access to recovery for a child with a cleft palate;

-Buy 20 afternoon snacks for students in La Cumbre, Cordoba province;

-Donate one shovel for the development of gardens and farms in rural areas of Patagonia,

-Get five bags with urgent needs for patients with AIDS who are visited by volunteers in various hospitals;

-Buy two books for the reading space of an Argentine school;

-Protect 3.9 square miles of native forests in Junin de los Andes, Neuquen province; or

-Buy art materials for three young artists on scholarships in the ProyectArte school.

Since you know that we all love videos…
