“…..I'm laura danz from germany and i am in tucuman untill the end of april.
……well, i am working in a kind of day care for little boys who come from poor families and go there to eat, do their homework, play... and i love it there! the boys are great, i am in love with all of them, they give me back so much love, its incredible! in the mornings, while they boys are still at school, i help in the office with the computer and things like that and when the boys arrive i play with them, help them with their homework... during the summer i also got the chance to get to know the families of the boys and visit them at home, so now i know how they have to live!

two or three times a week i also help in a fundation, la fundacion MINKA, which works with disabled kids and teenagers, and i learned a lot there, its fun and very interesting!

my hostfamily is the best, we are 10 now in the house (my best friend from germany is here for a couple weeks) and i dont know what to do without them! they helped me so much and make me feel at home, i don’t want to think about the day I’ve gotta leave!

i hope you could get a little idea about my live here in tucuman and im sure you know now that i´m very happy and grateful to be here!

i´ve got a lot of pictures from my projects and my family, as soon as i´ll be back in tucuman (for the long weekend we went to salta!) i´ll sent them to you.
well, i hope everything is okay in BA, say hello to everyone else in the office from me!
un beso!

Laura”
