  • Mónica ‘Cori’ Jiménez is a single mother with five children. "I grew up alone, in the streets," she said. "I never stole anything and I never took drugs." She survives on government assistance and the community soup kitchen. "If it didn’t exist, I don’t know what would have happened to my life and to the lives of my children." <br />
She used to be a 'cartonera' in downtown Buenos Aires for 15 years. She used to take her children out to beg until, in an argument, her older daughter convinced her that it was wrong. Cori combed trash at the municipal trash dump for three months, but she says she stopped because police beat her often and once shot her in the leg with a rubber bullet. After a childhood of mistreatment, Cori hopes life in 8 de Mayo will offer something better to her kids. <br />
"I am 30 and I already want to die," she told a visitor, slowly and deliberately, with her eyes fixed on the ground. "I want my children to be someone in life."

  • At the Jiménez family's home, a photograph hanging on the wall shows the past of the building, which used to host the community-run soup kitchen.<br />
In a place ignored by politicians, the community group has taken charge of services that should be provided by the government. Each morning, four people collect the trash with horse carts. The group also organizes training programs, health counseling and micro-enterprise initiatives. Most notably, a community-run soup kitchen feeds children and destitute families. The community center they run also serves as a social meeting point.
