    Our foundation aims to reintegrate people with disabilities and vulnerable individuals into the workforce and society. Some people work at street book stalls and earn a commission on sales. Another portion of the sales goes towards our main project: FREE BOOK PUBLISHING for vulnerable or low-income individuals who have a passion for writing and who otherwise would not be able to realize their dream of seeing their work published. The book culture as a tool for integration.

    Your help is welcome in our home.

    Tasks include: restocking books, cataloging, packing, inventory management, general maintenance, gardening, painting, cleaning, basic care for people with disabilities, feeding pets, preparing rooms, attending to travelers, etc.

    (PLEASE NO CELL PHONE USE DURING WORK HOURS)

    The city of Córdoba stands out for its culture; it is possibly the Argentine city that prioritizes culture the most across all sectors—museums, colonial houses, the history of Che Guevara, Eiffel Tower architecture, cinema, theater, visual arts, street art, and of course... being a Mediterranean city, right in the center of the country, it serves as a strategic point for tourism in all directions. It boasts the largest and most beautiful artisan market in the country, where our organization has a stall, and we sometimes need your help to staff it, all within a vibrant and multicultural setting.
