Mayor Francisco Azcué toured Child Development Centers, where the Secretariat of Human Development is carrying out enhancement works, and a Multipurpose Hall that was recovered after having been used and managed for purposes totally unrelated to the function these spaces fulfill in the neighborhoods of Concordia.
The visit included the “Payasito” CDI, where 54 children currently attend between the morning and afternoon shifts; the “Miguitas de Amor” CDI, where 50 children attend between both shifts, and the “Hormiguita Viajera” CDI, where 60 children go in the morning.
“We are working so that the children of Concordia come and find the CDIs in good condition, revalued. From our position, we support this training process which is very important, just as the role of the family and that of the teachers who give their best every day is also important,” highlighted Azcué.
In that line, the mayor maintained that the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, in addition to works being executed in different neighborhoods, “is composed of actions that have to do with support, education, and training. We need works, but we also need a present State that provides support, generates opportunities, and offers tools so that people can grow and develop, and the CDIs fulfill a more than important role.”
For his part, Carlos Gatto, Secretary of Human Development, stressed that the objective is “to enhance the 15 CDIs of the Municipality by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Together with the Undersecretariat of Social Development, we visit them and support each of the coordinators in the beautiful task they carry out together with the teachers, auxiliary staff, cooks, and others.”
Elena Gallo, coordinator of “Hormiguita Viajera,” expressed her joy but also gratitude for the works carried out: “they came to visit us, they made a commitment, and here are the results. Almost 60 children from different families in the San Miguel I neighborhood attend here, with whom we work together so that we all take care of the facilities that are for their children.”
RECOVERED MULTIPURPOSE HALL
The tour included the Multipurpose Hall of the Constitución neighborhood, which was recovered after having been in the possession of people for a long time who did not give it the social use for which these spaces were created.
Different areas of the Municipality are carrying out recovery works so that it can soon be available to the residents.
In this regard, the mayor remarked that “this place was totally destroyed and now, after having recovered it, an important investment is being made to return it to the residents because it belongs to them, not to political operatives, who gave it another use, vandalized it, or simply did not use it, and this is something that will not happen again while we are in office.”
