Kiddies’ Christmas Fund – just one more day to donate!

Since the Buenos Aires Herald handed the Kiddies Fund over to the Argentine British Community Council (ABCC), it has been our honour to keep the tradition alive. This year, the ABCC is launching the 2018 Kiddies’ Fund, and the Buenos Aires Times is doing its part too.

All Kiddies Xmas Fund proceeds go to five charities – Hogar El Alba (Buenos Aires Province, Southern districts, home for children from broken families), Fundación Vitra (CABA, but having handicapped children from all over the country), Hogar Amparo Maternal Sarah Hernández de Cilley (Nuñez, Bs. As., helping young mothers), Salvation Army (no explanation needed) and A.P.A.E.R. (providing schooling assistance to children in the interior to avoid their migration to large cities). Those who donate may earmark your gift for just one or more of the above if you wish.

The ABCC’s main office is located downtown at Esmeralda 634 2ºD and is open from Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. Phone (+54 11) 5254-8064/5.

While good old-fashioned cash has not entirely disappeared from Argentine life, the ABCC also accept donations via credit or debit card. You can also send a cheque to the ABCC made out to “British Community Welfare Fund – no a la orden.” Deposit or Transfer to: BANCO PATAGONIA, name: BRITISH COMMUNITY WELFARE FUND, Sucursal Nº10, Cuenta Corriente Nº 0831-5051, Alias SUMA.SALSA.PUEBLO, CBU 0340010400008315051005, CUIT 30-52566392-9.
