The Instituto Alberto Schweitzer is a Methodist parochial inclusive school which serves low-income families with children from 3 to 12 years old. It was founded 54 years ago as a day relief center for children living in the streets, and it was located in the Retiro Train Station in the center of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was Mr. Stanley Lambrechts, a local pharmacist, member of the Methodist Church in the neighborhood of Almagro (MCA), who saw the need of the children in the station, and his congregation backed him up to develop the assistance. The first classes were held in an abandoned train wagon. Missionaries of other non-methodist churches joined to help, though in 1978 the military government ordered to close all social facilities in the station. The mission had to either close or remain elsewhere, so the congregation of the MCA decided to move it to its building, where it already had a Kindergarten, one of the first to be created in the city. The building of the MCA was and still is, cozy but not enough and not prepared to host a school. During the 80’s, the National Methodist Church of Argentina (IEMA) helped by acquiring two centennial houses in our backyard, which we turned into classrooms. Yet, the building has almost reached its lifetime. Plus, the government of the city of Buenos Aires is tightening the safety requirements for school buildings each year and our advisers tell us that our building can hold no further than 5 years or less. The city government pays the teachers’ salaries but our congregation pays the whole cost of administrative employees and building maintenance thanks to individual donations and a small school fee. In recent years we have saved to develop a masterplan for a new building, but we need to take the next step and begin the construction as soon as possible. We as MCA congregation are very proud of our school and believe it must survive. We’re exploring every way to grant it.
