Javier and Paula Zanetti, the founders of the PUPI Foundation, with their collaborators and the youngsters that they work with. Javier and Paula Zanetti have decided to set their Foundation up with the aim of involving all sectors of society, and to lend their support to a very deprived area of Argentina. The Zanettis have, via their Foundation, created an mechanism through which the most socially disadvantaged and diversely talented children can receive, from their infancy, the help and education that they need at every stage of their lives. The implementation of this support has as its origin the belief that the combined strength of individuals can lead to constant and consistent efforts to solve problems and at the same time can make up for the lack of government support for the (rural) area; this strength can also reverse the indifference which characterizes modern society. It is well known that in times of crisis, such as the one we are currently living through, the "Each man for himself" mentality (and other individualistic attitudes) are borne of society's need to protect itself; these ideas, though, lead to the deterioration of the links and support which should make up the very essence of a country's social fabric. At critical times like these, it is right that we should seek a clear and resolute plan of action which should act through education and sport, both of which are capable of directly affecting children and recreating those links. We must not forget that individuals' personalities and consciences are formed from the very beginnings of childhood.
what javier thinks ?
当回顾我的童年时,许多场景仍然历历在目。我有一个困苦的童年,虽然我现在已经不生活在阿根廷了。但我知道阿根廷国内贫苦孩子的数量仍然在不断地增长。童年对孩子的一生的影响很重要。
我认为一个人应该明确自己的社会责任,必须为这个社会做点什么。工作在一个足球俱乐部里我会有机会影响到更多的人,大家一起努力更容易达到目标。
这种感觉使我有创建基金会的想法,最初的目的是在救助下满足一些贫苦、患病孩子们的基本生活,帮助改善他们的家庭情况。后来慢慢在教育、卫生等方面上关心他们的未来,毕竟他们是这个社会的一部分。基地的宗旨就是“让孩子得到和别人一样的生活”。
"When I look back to my childhood, many concrete scenes come to my mind, good ones and bad ones. I had a difficult childhood, and even though I am not living in Argentina at present, I am very aware of its critical situation and the effects of this on an increasing number of children affected by poverty.
I have always believed that one must work for the community, recognizing one's social esponsibility, and working as in a football team: joining efforts so that we can reach the objective together.
This feeling led us to the idea of creating a Foundation, which -with the help of the team of contributors and helpers- would have the initial purpose of satisfying the basic needs of nourishment, education, hygiene and care of children living in poverty, helping not only them but also contributing to the improvement of conditions for their families and the community they are part of."
