When we live in peace we don't realise how important this is, but we do when we lose it.

In Uruguay a shelter for everyone
Scouts in Uruguay are working to provide housing for homeless and poor people in Uruguay. The Scouts are organising a mega rock concert to raise funds to enable Uruguayan Rover Scouts to build these houses as their Gift for Peace. DescriptionThe Rover section aim to hold working camps during which time they will build wooden houses for the homeless. The location of the houses will be agreed withthe non-governmental organisation “Un Techno Para Uruguay” (A roof for Uruguay) and the projects developed with this organisation run by young people. Younger Scouts will also be involved in fundraising and will learn more about the situation facing the many homeless in their country. |
