Temporary Home for Children in Argentina

Dear friends, 

A new school year has officially begun in Argentina, and we are happy to share that the children at Casa de Abrigo Veo Veo have returned to school this March, starting their 2026 academic year, which will continue until mid-December. 

After previously sharing our Back-to-School campaign with you, today we would like to take this opportunity to introduce Mrs. Graciela Gilona, who leads our Casa de Abrigo — the name given in Argentina to specialized temporary homes for children and adolescents in vulnerable situations. 

Graciela explains that Casa de Abrigo Veo Veo is a specialized care home for children between the ages of 6 and 12 who are going through highly complex situations. These are cases in which the State intervenes due to serious risks affecting the children’s physical, psychological, social, and community well-being. 

At the Home, the work focuses on providing close and constant support to each child, strengthening emotional bonds, rebuilding trust, and opening new possibilities for their future. Every day, our team works with the conviction that every childhood deserves care, presence, protection, and real opportunities to grow in a healthy environment. 

For many of the children who arrive at Casa de Abrigo Veo Veo, returning to school is much more than going back to the classroom. It represents stability, routine, learning, and the possibility of imagining a different future. Education becomes a key tool in rebuilding confidence and helping children reconnect with their dreams and potential. 

At Mensajeros de la Paz Argentina, we continue to believe deeply in the importance of sustaining and strengthening spaces like this one — spaces where children can heal, feel safe, and grow surrounded by care and respect for their rights. 

Thanks to your support, we can continue accompanying these children through difficult moments and help ensure they grow up in environments that protect their dignity and well-being. 

With gratitude, 

The Team at Casa de Abrigo Veo Veo
