In 2013, after the death of Armin one of our founders, we wondered how to remember him and how to continue his dreams. Travel and experience other cultures was one of Armin's dream so we created the Armin Scholarship for Youth in order to allow them to travel and share, learn and be involved.

In 2014 we organized and planned the trips that would enhance the chances of experience for each youth.

During the month of January, 2015, three young fellows began their experience of traveling abroad as volunteers. Ximena and Nico went to England to help in Spanish classes and practice English at Portsmouth Grammar School, and they travelled the country to learn from its people and culture. Cristian is in Colombia to lear about sustainable development.

Towards the end of February, the three scholarships will be returning to Buenos Aires with experiences and images to share with the community, youth organizations and volunteers.

We still have this year scholarships: Mabel to Mexico, Samantha to Ecuador and Federico to Bolivia.

Volunteering as a collective experience

As we always say, volunteering is a learning process. And a learning process is never isolated. Volunteering is also a collective experience signed by the relation we'll create with the communities we'll work with.
