Upcoming events

At Habitat for Humanity Argentina we believe that in order to have a real impact on the housing situation in our country, we need everyone’s support. There are many different ways of being a part of this challenge to provide the conditions for a real and lasting transformation in the lives of those living in conditions of poverty. This year we are inviting you to be a part of two different events, both vital for the achievement of our goals.

On October 1st we will have our 2008 “More than houses” dinner at the Marriot Plaza Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires. It is a benefit dinner to raise funds for our various projects and it is aimed at individuals, companies and institutions wishing to support our cause. It promises to be an entertaining evening, filled with surprises as well as moments to recognise and appreciate our supporters. We will also share our new video, our achievements and dreams.

If you wish to join us for this event, please contact Nuria or Connie by writing to ddrr@hpha.org.ar or calling 4792 2739. If you are in Argentina, you can join us by buying a ticket to attend the event, buying a table, purchasing space in our program for your company, contributing prizes for the games, sponsoring the event, or volunteering as a promoter.
If you live abroad, you can still be a part of this event! Why not buy a ticket for someone you know in Argentina to enjoy the dinner on your behalf... or simply send in your donation to add to the event’s fundraising.

The second invitation is for our annual construction event: “Sing and Build” that will take place November 17-23, 2008. It is not necessary that you come neither to sing nor to build, but rather we invite you to put your “faith into action” during the activities planned for the week or for the weekend. All are welcome- volunteers from other countries and Argentines alike- to lay foundations of friendship and raise walls of hope. Like the Global Village program, we can assure an unforgettable experience not only for the volunteers, but also for the families in Santa Fe. We will witness the joy and love that ensure that our houses are built to be “more than houses”.

If you would like more information, please contact Lynn at voluntario@hpha.org.ar or (+54 11) 4793-4384 or 4792-2739.
