Year 2, Volume 2: NEWS IN BRIEF

Triangle of Churches: Since July, in the Luján Affiliate, the project “Triángulo con Iglesias” has been developing with the financial and prayerful help of people from the Anglican Cathedral of Buenos Aires and Holywell Parish Church in Cambridge, England.

The general idea of the project is that children and neighbors of the owners of the “Proyecto Tierras en Open Door” have a space where they are provided with educational and recreational activities, helping them to understand the value of their new home. This project is bringing the largest group amongst our beneficiaries, the children, closer to the heart of our mission.

Corporate Campaign to support the Lands Project: Thanks to the generous support of the volunteer María Marta Oliver, all the profits and subscriptions from a breakfast in the Marriott Plaza Hotel on August 10th were donated to the “Lands Project”. Many well-known people came to breakfast including Carolina Patrón Costas from the Australian Embassy, Constanza Gorleri from Banco Galicia, and the lawyers Gabriel Badino, Elena Riera from Maersk, Julián Ferrer of Cargill and Carolina Montera from the Fundation Creer y Crecer. José Colacilli, President of the National Board and Ana Cutts, National Director, explained the concepts of the campaign.

Join E. LI .CA!: Thanks to the new group of volunteers E.LI.CA. (Team of House Leaders) we are improving our local teams. The Rotary International Peace Scholars in Lujan and the Anglican Church of Buen Pastor in Villa Devoto, Buenos Aires, have already been out to Lujan to help build under the efficient coordination of ELICA.

Anyone who would like to join this team of House Leaders please write to to Ariel Sosa: arielalejandrososa@yahoo.com.ar
