- Habitat for Humanity International’s President in Argentina: Ron Terwilliger, HPHI volunteer and acknowledged estate agent developer, was in Argentina between February 9th and 10th, learning about HPHA’s programs. He also took the chance to meet with the United States Chamber of Commerce in Argentina (AMCHAM) and with the Construction Chamber of Argentina, with the goal of inviting the corporative sector to face the serious housing problem in the country.

- Brigades that involve the community: in March a brigade from St. Luke’s Church in Michigan, supported by Thrivent Financial, USA, was in Recreo, Santa Fe. In addition to helping families with the construction of their houses, the 31 volunteers contributed with materials and labor to paint a high school in an indigenous neighborhood while working together with the students. Furthermore, five professional doctors and therapists from the volunteer team exchanged experiences with the workers from the local community clinics.

- Students raise funds for a brigade: students from the Lincoln School in Buenos Aires organized a “dodge ball” tournament in order to raise funds to participate on a brigade with HPHA. Thanks to this event, 16 high school students were able to go to Recreo, Santa Fe and help families with the construction of their houses.
