Volunteer Travel Argentina

Disadvantage Children Project
Trip code: ARG1

Since Argentina 's economic meltdown in the late 90s, poverty combined with a lack of appropriate education and family planning, has resulted in millions of indigent children in Argentina whose parents cannot adequately provide for their basic needs such as food, clothing and a proper education. In association with a number of non-profit, Argentinean organizations, Rustic Volunteer Travel places volunteers/travelers in numerous “buddy roles” in an attempt to care for these disadvantaged children who may turn to the streets or less desirable options which are counter-productive to their education or brighter future. This is an opportunity for volunteers/travelers to teach various hands-on skills to these children as well as nurture their interests, goals and ultimately make their dreams for a brighter future come to fruition.
