In June, our team in Tarija once again set out on the long way from the town of Tarija to the countryside, where the Guaraní village of Tentaguazu is located in the dry and hot Chaco region. There, since the beginning of the year, we have been improving the living conditions of the host mothers and their protégés by building bathrooms and plastering walls. Together with the mayor we visited the construction progress.

At the same time, each of the schoolchildren 49 was measured and weighed to ensure their healthy development. The construction measures should also benefit the guest students in particular. The new bathrooms allow better personal hygiene and the plastered walls ensure a clean sleeping space. In the medium term, all of this has an effect on the school performance of the children, because only those who are healthy can learn successfully.
