Today: Neil
👉In this quote, Neil gives some tips for future volunteers to keep in mind. He volunteered in a Community Center assisting teachers in the preschool and helping in the soup kitchen for the first time in 2018 and then he got back in 2019
Comunidad Milpa joined to defend the sovereignty of our rivers, ports, and wealth of our soil. In Vuelta de Obligado where our patriots defended the coasts of the Paraná, the organizations gathered and organized early in the morning against the business of national waters.

Today: Liz
👉Liz was part of the communications team, she had already had contact with the Argentine culture, but in this phrase, she tells us why she wanted to volunteer in Buenos Aires.
DID YOU KNOW?
🔍 Avenida de Mayo was inaugurated in 1894, it is located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Monserrat, it was the first boulevard that the City of Buenos Aires had and the first avenue in South America.
205 years ago, 29 deputies met in San Miguel de Tucumán to conclude the emancipation process started in May 1810. On July 9, 1816, after nine hours of debate, the president of that time the "Act of Emancipation" was written.
On Saturday a new popular fair was held in Comunidad Milpa.
Saturday was also the day of the cooperatives. We celebrate the work carried out in Comunidad Milpa that day by day militates for popular sovereignty.
