Teniente Berdina becomes the fifth Child Care Center in a large family of services to the community that the blueberry sector, together with an increasing number of institutions, is promoting for the benefit of rural workers and their families and with the aim of preventing and eradicating child labor in agricultural production in the province of Tucumán and promoting education. Currently, in addition to the 5 CCCs, we also have 2 Youth Spot Centers for children between 10 and 17 years of age.
This new Child Care Center officially opened on November 16th.
