The Berisso Project – Join the First OCMC Mission Team to Argentina!
October 7, 2005
 
 
The Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC), St. Augustine, FL – The Orthodox Christian Mission Center together with the Greek Orthodox Metropolitanate of Buenos Aires is coordinating “The Berisso Project” which is in need of an international team of young Orthodox Christian adults to repair the homes of elderly founders of the Orthodox Community in the town of Berisso, Municipality of La Plata, Provincias de Buenos Aires, Argentina.  These elderly families lack the materials, the tools, and the physical strength to repair their modest homes.  The Project is a Mission in Christian Service, given with respect for the individual and with “filial” love.
 
This first OCMC Orthodox Mission Team to Argentina has been invited by His Eminence Tarasios to the town of Berisso, Argentina.  The 2006 Argentina Orthodox Mission Team will assist with construction, repairs and partial restoration of five (5) dwellings outside of Buenos Aires.  Team members will work with a local team of Orthodox youth from Argentina, and have the opportunity to share what it means to be an Orthodox Christian.  The Berisso Project will also help develop a sense of voluntarism with the Orthodox youth while involving the community at large as well.  
Team members will be housed in homes of the local Orthodox community members.  Some Spanish or Greek fluency would be helpful, and only basic construction skills are required.
