The last months of the year are bringing babies to the TWW/La Base Argentina family. Two team members are having children in the last quarter of the year, and this has brought about some changes in the team makeup, as the new parents have taken some time off to welcome their new child. So we have brought on a new team member, Pierre Simon, who will be working with us at least throughout the summer to help with the increasing workload as the year’s end approaches and cooperatives need more working capital.

Pierre comes from France, but recently worked with textile cooperatives in Brazil, and his experience and his previous research about Argentina’s cooperative movement are already proving very valuable incorporations.
