"Defensores del chaco
Building the Future Together"
VIVATrust – June, 2008
The VIVA Trust Case Studies series describes projects in which cooperation among different sectors of society results in especially successful synergism and leads to a more sustainable social development.
The third Case Study in the series is dedicated to a civil society project: Club Atlético Defensores del Chaco. This example fully documents the way in which a local, spontaneous initiative by a group of Argentine young people has resulted in an international project that has opened new vistas for its community and offered fresh opportunities to thousands of other young people.
This Case Study is the third one written by Dr. Roberto Artavia L., former rector of INCAE Business School.
The foreword was written by Bernardo Toro A., advisor of Fundación AVINA, whose in-depth knowledge of Latin America’s realities is second to none.
