The final result was outstanding. The three most appreciated projects – El Salam, El Waqqad, El Kamak – were awarded in a Ceremony held on February 15th in Alexandria.

PIRELLI WILL FINANCE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR YOUNG ARGENTINIANS

Education is the way to stop inequality.

That is the vision of Puentes, a non-profit organization, whose scholarship programme is supported by Pirelli.

The programme helps the youngest to get to schools and universities, providing laboratories, tutors and financial support needed to support the cost of those studies.

An activity for the Argentinian people, and a way of approaching the socio-economic groups in difficulty.

Through culture, we can help young people to improve their lives and to take the good opportunities life presents them.
