Little by little we closed another year of project together with #Ministerio de #DesarrolloSocial de la Nación and the social rugby clubs of northwestern Argentina. Yesterday, we finished the 16th Encuentro en Embarcación, Salta, together with the friends of Katutaj Rugby Club
Botines Solidarios held its twenty-fourth meeting of Argentine Social Rugby with a very special feature: this was the first time that the organizer was a club of the so-called Social Rugby and not a Union club. For this reason, we congratulate #LosSuriRugby de Andalgalá, Catamarca, for deciding to accompany the realization of a day that was attended by more than 100 people.
In a survey conducted by Botines Solidarios we learned that in social rugby in northwestern Argentina, 36.6% of teenagers who play rugby are girls

Breaking the barriers that rugby is a violent sport, encourage the idea that all the comrades can play and to focus primarily on what is a very powerful tool for education weapon, were key proposals for this year, gave impetus to a new project.
