What is ¨Solidaridad en Caja¨?
¨Solidaridad en Caja¨ is a campaign of the ProyectARG organization that brings support to formal and informal educational organizations to educate children, adolescents and adults of underprivileged communities in Argentina.
The support that is asked of is not another charity request that simply asks for the stroke of a pen for a check to help the unfortunate. Rather it is asking that caring individuals take on the social responsibility to stretch out a helping hand to fellow friends in need and enable themselves to be a key player in the future of humanity.
With that said, we are asking that those who want to make a difference in lives of fellow individuals, to join to support one of ProyectARG´s operations, that strives to promote and better the quality of life in every aspect and every way.
Which communities are we helping?
The Solidaridad en Caja campaign is presently helping out two communities in Argentina: Belén, Catamarca and Pozo Azul, Misiones also known as the guarani community ¨Tekoa Arandú. Here is more about these communities and their need:
