In the aftermath of Argentina's economic meltdown of the late 90s, a large number of non profits were created to feed and take care of the children in very poor neighborhoods whose families cannot otherwise provide for them. At present, these NGOs provide daily breakfast, lunch or dinner to many children and adolescents, usually more than 40-50 per location. They also provide school support and other activities to keep them away from the street. Some also run maternal day care centers for babies and children from 45 days to 5 years of age. Volunteers in this type of project help children with homework, teach basic/simple conversational English, support in recreational, manual and artistic activities, read stories, organize sport activities, care for and play with the children and help to prepare and serve meals.
