Please support the small Argentinean NGO which I volunteer for to create a better learning environment for its students from a humble neighbourhood of Garín just outside of Buenos Aires.
I'm currently a volunteer in an NGO (Luz Esperanza Pureza) close to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We do a lot of work in the areas of education, health and distribute donations (food and clothes) to people in need in the poor neighbourhood in which we are located as well.
Over the past 20 years since the founding of the NGO we helped many people finish their primary and/or secondary education and do professional trainings to be equipped to feed their families.
Thanks to donations in the past we were able to improve the infrastructure of the centre considerable (we now have three classrooms and two consultation rooms for doctors). However, we are currently struggling with one main thing in our NGO:
There is a lot more demand for educational work (especially for professional training of the people who managed to finish their schooling) than the we can handle at this moment in time. The issue lies in the lack of class rooms. Thus, we have started running campaigns to gather building materials so that the facilities can be expanded. We are looking to build two new class rooms. We have already received some donations, however, there are still around 2,000 GBP missing to cover the entire construction costs. This is not much money but for a disadvantaged neighbourhood here it goes a long way.
I have been a volunteer with the NGO for two years by now, since I came to Argentina in 2014. Thus, I know how the organisation works and how and where the money is spent. It is because of this that I know that it gets spent well.
I want to thank you in advance for your support on behalf of LEP as well as the over 200 families that receive the NGOs support.
