Argentina
Star of Hope has worked in Argentina for 30 years among the poor indian tribes in the north of the country. Star of Hope have built houses, water systems, schools and supported the teachers and students. We have come a long way with many different projects to raise living standards for the vulnerable people. I hope the work can continue for years to come. It would be necessary.
It has been difficult for the tribe people to reach in to the community and higher education and employment. Closed racism and open racism inhibits them at many different levels. But more and more young people work their through better education, some with the support of Star of Hope. Good, it is necessary for them to show that they are knowledgeable, although most live under more basic conditions.
The Football school among the Indians the Star of Hope began in 2005 has created opportunities for young people with dreams and also reaped great success. More on that ina later entry.
In a few weeks there is election time in Argentina. Current president Christina Kirchner leads all polls. I do not think she has been especially good with the little I have followed in recent years, but there seems to be limited options if I understand correctly. I will try to follow it up a little more.
