The "Fundación Luz y Verdad de Avellaneda" is a non-profit organization whose primary focus, for the past 25 years, is to provide a home and family for children, elderly men and women, and children who are developmentally challenged. In a family setting we provide a home under the name "EDUARDO ALFONSO AND DELIA MARINARO CHILDREN’S HOME". This intergenerational family approach provides protection, health, leisure activities and educational structure. The children are guided from kindergarten, primary and secondary schools and universities, in both public and private institutions. The educational levels attained will depend on the children’s innate abilities, in the case of our handicap children (Down's Syndrome, Quadriplegic, West’s Syndrome, Encephalopaty Chronic Progressive, Renal Failure (Dialysis Dependent), Aids, Hepatitis C, Morsier’s Syndrome (Septo-optic Dysplash), Digorge´s Syndrome, Hidrocefalia, Mental Delay, Coeliac, Others), who will attend special schools.

  The foundation also distributes food, clothing, and personal hygiene products to children who live in the most deprived zones making this collaboration between the foundation and sections of our community in the greatest need.

 

We dream to build a "FARM SCHOOL", for the education and preparation of our handicapped children, and in this way, to get an education which allows a development personal and social.

 When the project finished, in one second stage, to receive groups of children of schools of our country and the outside, giving them thus the possibility of social interchange, in a frame recreational, of sport and of holidays.

 This program is projected on an area about 20 hectares, on a construction of 4000 m², on Punta Indio, Buenos Aires. We began the work.
