Program description
|
The city of Iguazu is one of the most important tourist attractions in Argentina. It is full of hotels and other services of the highest quality, but at the same time it is a city with a high amount of poverty and a lack of access to education.
Although it is a place full of jobs, the local people do not have the qualifications necessary to work in the tourist sector.
They can only just get jobs as cleaners. They do not know how to use computers or speak any foreign languages and this makes it very difficult to get other jobs.
A community center run by young people with the addition of volunteers help is trying to reverse the situation. It provides computer and English classes and academic support.
