¿Qué es La Chocleada?
“La Chocleada” ( http://www.lachocleada.org.ar/ ) consiste en la recolección manual de una hectárea de maíz, donada por un productor agrícola, cuando el mismo se encuentra en estado de choclo para su consumo; la recolección es realizada por los alumnos de los secundarios más próximos a la hectárea, los familiares, amigos de los mismos y las empresas que desean participar involucrando a sus empleados. Una vez recolectado y embolsado, el producto es enviado al Banco de Alimentos ( http://www.redbancosdealimentos.org/ ) closest to the hectare donated, who will distribute the collected directly to the needy. The whole process from start collecting until the product reaches the dining is done in about 24 hours.
"The Corn" aims to mobilize our society in general and high school students in particular, to benefit thousands of people who do not know, thousands of Argentines and Uruguayans who have not secured their daily meal , and dozens of neighbors of their own community, our towns and cities involved in institutions (NGOs) in public good.
"The Choclair" seeks local support from area businesses, a token payment at harvest (1 corn = 1 peso), whose amount is given to the weakest institutions belonging to the communities participating schools. Institutions interested in receiving the money should introduce students to their needs and problems, so thus the students know and understand their requirements and then decide on a more informed benefit to handing money institution. This way we engage students in community problems.
With the effort and commitment of more than 5000 volunteers this year will be held on 30 corn to be harvested and delivered nearly 1,500,000 dishes and collected approximately $ 550,000 in donations to be given to social organizations outside the community where corn is being performed.
