FOUNDATION

It was created on June 8th 1989, as a public welfare institution under the name of «Fundación Bronislada Kruchowski de Szychowski», in honor to the wife and partner of Mr. Juan Szychowski, founder of the firm La Cachuera S.A.-Mrs. Broña, as she was called, was a Polish immigrant, who arrived to our red land when she was 8 years old, together with her parents and siblings. She settled down here and built together with his husband, a life of hard work and sacrifice, bringing up their 8 children.

The Foundation named after her, has been organized with the main goal of helping the community of Misiones, the man working the farm and anyone who wishes to develop and make progress, addressing issues such as health, sports, education, and culture, through academic scholarships at a primary, secondary, advanced or university level.-

The foundations and the first classrooms of the Provincial Technical Education School Nº 5 of the City of Apóstoles was built, the computer room of which is called «Juan Szychowski».

In 1992, we created the primary school «La Negrita», in the neighboring area of Gobernador Virasoro, Province of Corrientes, to which 45 children attend. Recently, we have opened its kindergarten area.
