PRESENTS FOR EVERYBODY!!!

We wanted to give the kids new and nice toys, one for each… but they were too many! 150! That turned out to be 157. How could we get the money to do it??

Thanks to “Puentes” Civil Association of Buenos Aires, each kid could have his present!

Beautiful toys, chosen one by one by Carolina and Sara, according to ages, for boys and girls that arrived from Buenos Aires in 16 boxes Alejandro took to Puerto Azara on Saturday and wouldn’t let Malvina, Marías daughter, sleep. “What’s inside? Are they toys, mom?”, she said.

The following day, Pinguelas volunteers wrapped and named each one of them. At dusk we gave them out together with the gift packs. The kid’s anxiety to hear their names called out and to recieve their present is something we won’t forget that easily. Their little faces of joy as they saw their toys are indelible memories.
We are sure that 157 pieces of love have reached that generous heart that made it possible.
