Homeless and socially disadvantaged people and their families

The volunteer will participate in the main activities of the foundation: During a night tour (twice a week from 21:00), the volunteer will walk though the city center of Cordoba (Plaza San Martín and pedestrian) and provide food, blankets, clothing and medicines to needy people.
On the remaining days of the week he/she will attend the following activities:

• Manage and organize donations of used clothing
