The almost total lack of basic educational materials to teach primary school children living in the barren areas of the poorest provinces of N. Argentina . To support dedicated teachers & their pupils who walk many miles over dangerous rivers and mountains on mondays to sleep - sometimes on floors without blankets, to school until Friday to get an education which will change their lives from the abject poverty of their parents - mainly llama farmers living subsistance lives in isolated areas.

It will reduce the enormous stress levels of the teachers to be able to have sufficient materials to be able to do their job better & with some hope & give more time to teach their pupils. It will mean greater time for the students to learn as currently they even have to share one pencil. By providing the basic equipement necessary for each child it will give them a sense of pride in their work and an incentive to learn, they will also have a map to share and paper , crayons & exercise books.
