Following in the tradition of previous years, the Harvard Argentine Society - a group that brings together argentines who study at Harvard University - held an event on the Harvard Business School campus, on Wednesday April 21, 2010, to raise funds for a civil organization associated with HelpArgentina (HA).
They had the pleasure of having 35 Argentine students and residents of Boston in attendance, all of whom had the opportunity to enjoy empanadas, wine, and Argentine music. The schools represented were primarily: Harvard Business School, the Kennedy School and Harvard Law School.
It is worth noting, as an important example of social commitment, that some students who could not attend, became a part of the initiative through donations via paypal.
They were successful in raising $828 dollars. The money will go, through HA, to a replica of Teach for America in the United States: the organization Teach for Argentina. This organization aims to achieve an Argentina in which all children have access to quality education. For this purpose, the organization selects and trains the best college graduates with strong leadership traits and motivation, to teach for two years in Argentine schools vulnerable due to their socioeconomic level.
HA wants to thank Federico Alvarez-Demale, Paola Sabattini and Maxiimiliano Gonzalez Costa for organizing this event and the commitment they have shown in continuing this tradition. Those involved with HA sincerely believe that if we join efforts we can expand our organizational scope and increase our achievements.
"We hope to hold another event next year to continue supporting the efforts of HelpArgentina in the United States." Maximiliano Gonzalez Costa
