Join us as we travel to
Buenos Aires, Argentina
on a humanitarian and cultural vacation!
We will visit different projects each day including a children’s soup kitchen, a children’s cancer treatment clinic, a home for the disabled and a children’s day center, all of which will enable us to interact with those visited.
