Despite an image of European sophistication, Argentina is one of the most economically unequal countries in Latin America. It has the highest debt on the continent, and the effects of lockdown have left its currency floundering. Some economists have even gone as far as to say they should switch to the dollar, as Venezuela was forced to. 

The effect of the pandemic on Argentina is more than economical, though. The UN estimates that by the end of the year, 6 out of 10 Argentinian children will be living below the poverty line. This week we speak to Cinthya Olivera, who works at an English school outside Buenos Aires called 'La Casita' which aims to give underprivileged children a chance to have a better future.
