Compassion Direct UK

Hi guys

Well despite a few ups and downs things are getting cracking over here and many of you will have received my Round Robin - to be added to the list send me an email to rosinargentina@yahoo.co.uk.

Below is a picture of one of the industrial sewing machines we bought earlier this year for the young persons leather workshop in Villa Lujan.  I am going to see if we can send leather work to the UK.  This project is now preparing to run a pilot project to see if they can attract more workers for carpentry and ceramics workshops.

The Comador at Luz Del Alma is growing slowly and they have completed all the building work that we funded earlier this year.  As you can see there is some way to go yet, we need more cash, can you help?

I shall be meeting with the Quilmes Group to discuss the way forward here.

I was to have visited Villa Del Monte today to discuss how we could help  but we have had such heavy storms that the person I was to meet there rang and said that the paths were impassable mud so we have had to postpone that meeting.  I shall be going up river to Entre Rios to visit a project which is also supported by St, George's College in December.

The Windmills for Salta Schools continues slowly to proceed!

While I am away the Trustees are having an informal meeting to discuss the future and we have discussions over the Skype phone (with pictures) wonderful technology.

more news as and when
