It is no coincidence that a charity activity has been chosen to remember Báez Sosa.
The young man, as a student and graduate of the Marianista School, knew how to collaborate in
various solidarity projects
of the Seres Versus Teneres group, a non-profit civil association located in the town of Marcos Paz, in the province of Buenos Aires.
The call is this Sunday.
From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., it is requested to bring non-perishable food and school supplies to be donated.
The organizers asked to "clean what is going to be donated before being delivered" and highlighted the guidelines to avoid possible contagion of Covid-19.
Among them, respect social distance, avoid crowding and maintain constant circulation.
In addition to noting that a march is not called for the anniversary of the crime, those who approach were asked "not to donate tools that no longer serve or are broken, since other people have to use them."
