Project: Barrio Vivero

La Montaña started a volunteer project at “barrio Vivero” and has been running it for the last year and a half. Barrio Vivero is one of the poorer neighbourhoods in Bariloche. In 2005 the government, helped by a donation from the famous American actor Paul Newman, pulled down the old wooden houses and replaced them with small houses of stone. The people really want to improve their neighbourhood and this project is there to help them do that.
Some of things that the volunteers have done include running workshops in topics of interest for the kids, teaching English, computing or other subjects at the primary school situated in the neighbourhood, working in the vegetable garden that the school has, painting the school, making curtains etc.
Depending on your skills and interests for sure there is something for you to do!
