As many other countries in the world, Argentina is getting ready for the corona virus peak in the coming months. Schools didn't start their classes and restrictions for moving around the city are getting stronger every day. It is more than possible that in the coming days the national government will declare a total lock down. As you can imagine, this has affected all our activities and put on stand by our programs with the community.
However, we are adapting to this situation and developing ideas to get in contact with our participants by phone and digital networks in order to help out were possible and making sure everyone can get the services they need. We are also working with the city goverment and other organizations sharing information, mediating and putting on the spotlight problems that our kids and their families faces. In this crisis one of the most vulnerable group are those living in extreme poverty conditions.
But we keep on going, adapting and being resilient in difficult times for the world planet. It is time to put in practice everything we have been preaching and working for years: being good at uncertainty, building trust and condifence we need in societies to go trough this with the less impact possible, realizing that we are all connected and we need each other. These are times to reflect on what kind of world we want to live in and to value things we took for granted. Let's learn together and create the best version of ourselves. From all species living in planet earth, we are the only one with the capacity to take of all the others (including ourselves), and that's great. Let's be great, then.
Thanks for your support in this difficult moment, stay strong and take care of your beloved ones and your community.
