Between the years 2004 to 2006, the AVS’s chosen charity was the Jenaro Aguirre Elementary School in Petare, one of the poorest areas of Caracas.  Run by a nun, Madre Maria Luisa Casar, it teaches 415 very needy children, between the ages of 3 and 14.
The funds  went into building a kindergarten and buying an industrial fridge.
During that period the representatives of the AVS on the ALAF Board, as well as at the Fairs, were the AVS Ladies’ Support Group.
