Last July 23, we invited Cimientos pupils, who graduate from school this year with our sholarship for a special lunch at our office. Taking advantage of their winter holidays, we held this event to get to know them and welcome them to our Graduates Network.
52 students participated! They came from many places of Buenos Aires: Merlo, Soldati, Pte. Perón, Lugano, Longchamps, Barracas, Ensenada Laferrere and Florencio Varela. Some of them had to travel more than 2 hours to get to our office.
All of them received “Guias del Estudiante” which are guides donated by an Argentine editorial than contain information of every private and public university. We also gave them useful information about university scholarships available for those who want to continue studying next year but can´t afford it.
Ater lunch, some of them stayed for a vocational guidance workshop delievered by a psichologist from the University of Barceló, in order to make them think about their future.
We hope to keep on counting on your support to help argentine youth achieve higher education and obtain jobs so that they can escape poverty.
Best regards,
