Le 24 mars est le Jour de la Mémoire, pour la Vérité et la Justice en Argentine. Il commémore le coup d’état militaire qui est survenu le 24 mars 1976 et qui a instauré la dictature militaire pendant 7 ans.

Last year, we said goodbye to our Volunteer House on Avenida de Mayo. But 2017 welcomes a new space for volunteers to enjoy their stay in the fabulous city of Buenos Aires: our partner Volunteer Residence.

Armin was a young man who studied to become an economist at the University of Buenos Aires. He understood Economics as part of our life and as a tool which must be used to achieve Equity and Social Justice.

If Walls Could Talk

December 22 marks the day we say goodbye to the Volunteer House on Avenida de Mayo and start a new chapter in Pacheco.

Das erste Wort, das mir in den Sinn kommt wenn ich an meine erste Woche in Buenos Aires denke ist bereichernd! Bereichernd für meine Gedanken, Ansichtsweisen und Gefühle.

 

 

 

Today we decided to celebrate International Volunteers Day having some fun at the Volunteer's House! You cannot miss our volunteers' Mannequin Challenge!

Volunteering with Voluntario Global I’ve had the chance to experience life in Argentina’s vibrant capital, Buenos Aires. There are so many things I love about this city, the most beautiful purple trees, how we’re never far from a perfect spot to sit, play cards and drink mate, how there’s always music and celebration and how caring many of the people I’ve met here are… The list goes on. I know that the other volunteers love living in this city just like I do, so I chatted with some of them to find out what they would say is their favourite thing about Buenos Aires.

Day of the death is an old tradition in Mexico. The ancient Mexicans used to invite their dead to dinner in the month of August, during the corn harvest season.
