Dear Friends,

As the year comes to a close, we would like to share a summary of the achievements of the Sumando Manos Foundation. This achievement has been made possible through the generous support of our donors, our network of foundations in Argentina, dedicated teaching professionals, and the many individuals who quietly work for the benefit of innumerous children.

Thank you for your support!

RURAL AREA SCHOOLS

We have been sending clothes, shoes, blankets, toys, and food to our schools throughout the year. Here we show you the joy of the children receiving donations

Deliveries has been sent to schools in different provinces and cities such as: Curuzú Cuatia in Esquina Corrientes - El Soberbio in Misiones - Tres Isletas, Villa Berthet, Pampa Bandera in Chaco – Rosario de la Frontera in Salta – Entre Rios (17 schools in total)

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROJECTS

At the EEP371 Villa Berthet school, in Chaco province, we have bought the materials and installed the oven for the school’s dining room.

At the EEP373 Guillermo Donaire’s school in El Soberbio City in Misiones Province, repair works were carried out: roof, doors, installation of a solar water heater, and electrical maintenance.

At the EEP479 school Las Pampitas, Andalgala City in Catamarca Province we have repaired and installed the roof with the amazing collaboration of Santa Clara Foundation in the logistic area.

COLLABORATION WITH FOUNDATIONS

SAI FOUNDATION

In the different centers of the country, the activities were carried out throughout the months: Noccan Kani in the Mocovi’s community in Santa Fe province, workshops for pastry baking, sewing, arts crafts, and circus festivities were held. In Posada’s City, donations were taken to the Guarani community and the center for children with cancer and “Hogar las Mamitas” (young single mothers home).

In Las Talitas, Tucumán Province, and Merendero Belén, Salta Province, lunch and snacks were provided to children every weekend, along with educational and recreational activities. In the cities of Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires as well as in Los Sauces, Córdoba province, monthly dental care was also offered.

We would like to thank all the foundations that work with us to reach so many children in different regions of the country. Through them, we are able to provide medical and dental care, donations and infrastructure through "Santa Clara", nutrition and vocational workshops through "Pequeños Pasos", donations, snacks, education in human values and school support through "Camino a la Casita", and repairs and donations through "Sumando Solidaridad".

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Throughout the year, in our donation center, Teresa Donaire and Graciela Fernández have received, selected, washed, and prepared an incredible amount of donation packages that have been sent throughout the year to the different schools of our aid network throughout the country. Thank you very much for a great job done with so much responsibility and care!!

Many thanks to the Borda family for making it possible for donations to reach such distant places!

Thank you to all our donors, without whom we could not realize any of the projects we are developing.

Thank you for 2024 full of cooperation and love!

Beekeeping project and more

By Alejandro Itkin | Board Member

Dear Friends we want to share with you the latest that has been achieved through the Sumando Manos Foundation and thank you for the help of all the donors, teachers, directors, and compassionate people who have collaborated.

BEEKEEPING PROJECT IN MISIONES

The beekeeping project continues to move forward, which consists of installing beehives which contribute to the communities and schools in certain areas of Misiones, providing training to teachers, who will teach the older students in workshops in their villages. The project also consists of building the beehives for each location and the beekeeping specialist with all the necessary material to carry it out.

Sumando Manos provides transportation for beekeeping experts, trainers and personnel as well as the necessary supplies to install beehives such as wood for boxes, materials and tools.

SCHOOLS

In the beginning of the school year (March 2024) more and more Schools inside and outside our network have requested further assistance for the school’s cafeterias as they cannot afford to provide nutritional breakfast and lunch for the children.

Now with your help since March, month after month, Sumando Manos has provided the schools with the necessary food to cover these needs; we are also providing school supplies, first aid, donations of clothes, shoes, toys.

On the school grounds of school EEP371 located at Villa Berthet, Chaco, half shade material for the educational student’s farm project has been purchased and installed

BEARING THE FRUIT OF YOUR CHARITY

We would like to introduce William, who is in 4th grade, Yanina, who is in 5th grade, Anderson and Guadalupe, who are in their first year, all of them studding at EFA High School.

These students have graduated from the Guillermo Donaire Elementary School in El Soberbio, Misiones, and we have seen them grow and be educated, thanks to all the donations over the years.

Many thanks to the student's sponsors for making it possible for them to attend high school so that they can finish their studies: Gabriel and Eugenia Becce, Pieter Kloosterboer, Ana Magrini, Germán Previsdomini, Viviana Tenenbaum and Omar Pucciarelli..

HELPING HANDS

SANTA CLARA ORGANIZATION

Our partners have made the second trip to Misiones, in June, visiting the schools in Aldeas Yeyi, Pindo Poti, Yryapi, Caramelito, also the schools of El Botón and Colonia Pepiri. Activities were organized with the children, food, medicine, toothbrushes and toothpaste, clothes, shoes, school supplies and toys were delivered. Celebrations were shared with the entire communities.

Recreational games were played, the children enjoyed face painting and birthdays were celebrated. Breakfast, lunch and snacks were shared. Dental talks were given and fluoride was applied to all the children.

PEQUENOS PASOS

The 9^th of July (Independence day) was celebrated with school events at all the assistance centers in the country. “Locro” (traditional Argentinean dish) was cooked with the cooking equipment and personnel of the Workshop centers. This was all made possible by your donations.

A story of integration and giving back to the community:

Ivan started at the Workshop Center because of Nati, his mom, who works in our kitchen. He has a disability called congenital rubella and his participation in the baking workshops with teacher Kari gave him new motivation to believe in his talent and abilities. He not only earned a place in each group, but also in our hearts. His generosity and predisposition made him a great assistant in the "Kids" Cooking workshops and now he joins a new initiative in the Early Childhood classrooms where he bakes bread with the children and transmits his knowledge with great enthusiasm.

We are happy for this new achievement!
