Support the poor in Argentina
The collapse of the economy in Argentina plunged many poor into destitution.
The Spanish charity diezeuros (Ten Euros) collects 10 Euros a month from each of its members (via PayPal) and uses it to buy food over the internet for existing projects in Argentina. All these projects are homes for street children.
The charity is web-based and has no expenses.
All of us have received a great deal from Argentina; here is a way to give something back.
