WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BIRDS? David Denies has a history of social responsibility in the communities where we work and live.

Since 1985, our motto has been "investing money in people." This guiding philosophy is all about enriching the lives of local youth and elderly people in need.

Our commitment to being great corporate citizens takes place in four core areas:

community centers

school support

The Maria de la Esperanza Mission, located in the San Marcos Sierras region of Cordoba, Argentina, is a non-profit that specializes in charitable work. It currently operates seven Community Centers where the tireless Sister Theresa and a volunteer staff provide daily meals to hundreds of underprivileged local children. David Denies supports the Mission by providing food, electricity, gas, building supplies, and school materials at each community center.

David Denies has been part of the school support program since the beginning, providing school supplies and other essential materials. A teacher gives personalized care and instruction to the children through the entire learning process.

health on wheels

solidarity stays:

In 2002, Sister Theresa helped open a Mobile Clinic operated by a team of volunteer health professionals called “Doctors of La Esperanza�. The mobile clinic was created to provide free monthly health-care services to uninsured people living in remote areas of northern Cordoba, and to educate them on disease prevention. David Denies joined the project with an initial investment in technological equipment and with ongoing funding for travel expenses and food for volunteers and patients.

international volunteer program David Denies has designed an international volunteer program in order to support the Esperanza Foundation. Volunteers learn about the Foundation and its important programs, while participating in its day-to-day activities. The experience includes hunting at one of our renowned lodges, a stay in a hotel near the Foundation during volunteer time, and/or the possibility of staying at the Foundation’s headquarters. To learn more about the program, send us an email.

Donations

We also encourage guests to donate to this important program. With donations from visitors such as you, we have contributed large appliances and have helped build six Community Centers so far.
