Project:
The youth group for community action “Quebrachito” are developing several actions which commemorate this important year. Argentina is going towards it’s bicentenary; the 25 May and will celebrate 200 years as a nation and Villa Ana is going to celebrate its centenary; on the 9 July it will celebrate 100 years as a village. For this reason together with Subir al Sur and the community of Villa Ana we will develop from the 26 June until the 11 of July a project which has the objective of working on activities related and forming part of the festivities on the route to the birthday of the village.
The history and the development of a small village such as Villa Ana goes back exactly 100 years and was in the hands of a British company which exploited the North East of Argentina for a tree called Quebracho from which they extracted a substance called tannin. The community of Villa Ana is characterized by its history and for the painful memories of usurpation and robbery.
The youth group Quebrachito, Subir al Sur and the people of the village are preparing and organizing to celebrate the birthday of their dear village through different activities, which are as follows:
·[FONT="] [/FONT]Construction of a bus stop on the road 32 which gives access to the village of Villa Ana, its decoration will be related to the Centenary of the Village.
·[FONT="] [/FONT]Cleaning, painting and other activities in the local museum.
