Carpentry School in San Cayetano
Part of the Sustainable Communities program, IARCOS, has launched, in March 2009 a carpentry school in the neighborhood of San Cayetano, in La Matanza, province of Buenos Aires.
In this neighborhood, the rate of youth unemployment is very high and access to vocational training poor. Poverty is a major issue for most households. IARCOS initiated this project both to solve these problems and provide professional skills to young people.

IARCOS is building a civic and health center for Nuestro Futuro
The health and well being of the population is at the Heart of the concept of sustainable communities. The population must be healthy
in order to apply the ideals set by IARCOS. Our vision is for the population of Nuestro Futuro to become aware of key public health
issues and to adopt positive health behaviours in order to become and remain a "healthy community".
The works are progressing very well with the foundations already constructed at 80 cm from ground level.
The workforce is entirely componed by local residents.

Enviro Bathroom Project
Last year, Walter Daniel Trusoni, IARCOS Vice-President, visited a monastry in South India. There, electricity and drinking water supply are very limited. Based on his observation, Walter started the project “Proyecto Enviro Bathroom” (EBP). The objective is to raise awareness about the urgent need to save energy, through invidual commitments and an ‘environmental conscience’ present in each household.

60 native trees planted in Nuestro Futuro
A few weeks ago, 60 trees have been planted in Nuestro Futuro by the residents.
These trees have been donated by the Harbor Authority of Buenos Aires, which 2 Ingineers have visised the neighbourhood the first week of spring.
According to our objective, we asked for indigenous and native trees.
All this happened thanks to the efforts of Patricia Casino's husband, Director of a school in the town of Moron.
Andrea Giardini, from the NGO "Semillas al Viento", organization close to IARCOS, sent us a note here he says why planting native trees.
