On this project you’ll be helping at a community center where people that live in extreme poverty assist to get help to satisfy some of their basic needs. There is much you can do and much you can learn from getting immersed in this reality. This impoverished neighborhood in Cordoba needs your assistance to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
All you need to do is to put all your empathy skills and you’ll feel the need to donate your time and energy without thinking it a minute further. Imagine, living on the streets or at a shack during the cold winter and the exhausting summer, without having proper clothing to protect yourself from the weather conditions and without food for you or the people you care about. That’s a pretty scary picture right?
The cruel economy has left many families without shelters or jobs to have a hope for a brighter future. They could use your help in so many ways! The people working at the center work non-stop to do the impossible with very few resources. They all chip in with donations and with their full commitment of course.
Soup kitchens need help in many aspects, other than just serving food. You may need to help prepare food, pick up donations, take inventory of food, set up tables, and clean up, so be ready to help however possible. Also at the community wardrobe you’ll be ordering and sorting the clothes and preparing bags of clothes to take to other community centers apart from giving out the cloth to the one that needs it. You can also help with administrative tasks updating documentation, managing folders and reviewing files.
