One of the winning projects was presented by volunteers from Los Grobo in San Miguel del Monte and had as a beneficiary the Civil Association "El Abrazo de la Madre Teresa", a recognized local institution that has the project to build an integral space that works as a Permanent Home for people with disabilities.

Currently, the institution has the property where the Home will be built, but they need to move forward with the work. “In Monte there is no place that houses people with disabilities, most of whom outlive their parents or caregivers. The existence of this Home would solve this problem and facilitate the integration of these people into society”, commented Ignacio Fasce, Plant Manager at Grupo Los Grobo and one of the project volunteers. "The money obtained as a prize was destined to the acquisition of materials to begin the construction of the Home (bricks, sand, cement, sheets)", he added.

Let us remember that "Social Field" is Grupo Los Grobo's Corporate Volunteering program from which the company intends to promote and accompany the solidarity actions of its collaborators, facilitating the realization of their ideas, for the benefit of the localities where they live and they work. Through it, the company makes an amount of money available, which this year was $600,000, so that it is the volunteers themselves who decide, through a project competition, which institutions in their community they decide to help.

In addition to Juan Ignacio Fasce, Yanina Geier and Fernando Méndez are the other two Volunteers who presented the winning project and also work at the Grupo Los Grobo Plant in San Miguel del Monte.

In this year's edition of the "Social Field" program, there were also 4 other projects from the cities of Carlos Casares, Chivilcoy, Jesus Maria and Lomas de Zamora. They will receive $120 thousand each destined to strengthen the work of the organizations with which they are already working or involved in some way.
