The winning projects of the 2022 edition of "Campo Social" were announced, the Corporate Volunteering program that Grupo Los Grobo has been implementing for 15 years.

One of the winning projects was presented by volunteers from Los Grobo in Jesus Maria and had the Bartolomé Miter School in Villa del Totoral as the beneficiary. This educational institution works in the San Cayetano neighborhood and since 2018 it had been working on the "Artists for a Day" project with the impossibility of implementing it due to lack of resources.

“The money obtained as a prize was destined to the acquisition of plastic arts materials, drawing, sheets and about 50 small and self-supporting lecterns so that the students can go on educational outings to various emblematic places in the town and feel like “Artists for a Day” said Betiana Monfardini, one of the project's volunteers who works as a Commercial Administrator at the Los Grobo Branch in Jesus María and who also has her son in the institution and is a member of the Cooperating Commission.

“Artists for a Day” is a project that we have been dreaming of for years and through which we intend that students strengthen drawing techniques by direct observation and that they can apply them to a landscape to reproduce”, said Silvia Mónica Capdevila, Director of the Institution, and added "we start from the basis that drawing and painting are a means of expression where the student can exercise values ​​such as relaxation, concentration, creative capacity and sensitivity, in addition to emphasizing playful, spontaneous and experiential aspects".

Let us remember that “Campo Social” is Grupo Los Grobo’s Corporate Volunteering program through 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. 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.

Betiana Monfardini, Damaris Córdoba, Marcos Ruarte, Cristhian Aris and Monica Ocón Gil, are the Volunteers who presented the winning project and who work at the Grupo Los Grobo Commercial Branch in Jesus Maria.

In this year's edition of the "Social Field" program, there were also 4 other projects from the cities of Carlos Casares, Chivilcoy, San Miguel del Monte and Lomas de Zamora, Province of Buenos Aires. 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.
