Casa del Niño

Casa del Niño

Salta, Argentina. September 11, 2010.

The poverty in the province of Salta is not directly visible from the capital's fancy street cafés, yet hundreds of thousands of people live in slum areas around the city, and poverty is ubiquitous in the region. Casa del Niño supports impoverished, often terminally ill children by giving them care and shelter during their treatment in the children's hospital in Salta.

LIFE Argentina

L.I.F.E. Argentina

Buenos Aires, August 30-September 1.

In Buenos Aires there are certain areas, like Villa Ciudad Oculta, that you can't find on the map. They often don't have clean drinking water, electricity or gas, and the police won't enter there. The local ngo LIFE Argentina organizes events for children, supports soup kitchens and delivers school supplies. We visit and support a birthday party.
