"We are now building four dining rooms for a school that is very near here. The children are staying all day at school. We have invested 5,600 million pesos on Education and this figure represents the 27% of the total budget. Then, other 29% are for Health and 31% go to non-profit organizations. We want to help the most humble people. The people that decide to feed poor and hungry children in their dining rooms usually use to enlarge their homes in order to be able to do it every day. I contribute with them because I think that these are the real non-profit organizations. There are newspapers that offer a free space in which these organizations can communicate its necessities and also their phone numbers if the readers want to help or contribute with them. We prefer to deliver the money directly. I gave 500,000 dollars to the United Nations when they were collecting for the hungry children from Bosnia. On the other hand, I bought lots of houses for the homeless people. Loma Negra employs people that fought in Malvinas. We also work with disabled people. We teach them how to do the work."
