Four Sites on Elena Durón Miranda

Site 1
From this original site of Ms. Miranda on CNN, I learned of the existence of this person and the issue in Argentina that is being treated. In Argentina, children younger than three years of age are picking up garbage with their families to sell for profit or for food. This issue, currently in Argentina has broke Ms. Elena Durón Miranda's heart. Thus reacting to this, she has formed a charitable child championing program called PETISOS (Prevention and Eradication of Child Labor SOS) in Argentina dedicated to help these families and it's children to grow and provide them an education. Anyone in the community may sign up to aid these families to teach or to  give them food to eat. Furthermore, Elena's team tracks children in the garbage dumps to observe his or her work habits in order to teach them correctly and without knowing how they would react to their teachings. However, Elena has conducted a trust with these families by helping them find the trash they need. She is a compassionate person and always will be willing to help everyone, she is a true hero.

This website indicates the importance of Ms. Miranda's presence in the hearts of young Argentinean children. It shows that not only people in Argentina completely adore Elena, people around the world are noticing her too. These site persuades people to vote for Ms. Miranda for the next top ten heroes in the CNN Heroes. I have also found out that Ms. Miranda is a psychologists, that explains the observations of children. She is so precise and accurate when it comes to decision making and luckily she had a glimpse of the hardships these children must face. Overall, most people who knows Ms. Miranda is devotional to her and will support all her decisions.

Site 3
This site demonstrates and shows most of the economic issues in Argentina. Although it is irrelevant towards saving and helping children, it is helpful to know this information because we want to know why the families in Argentina are so poor. Ms. Miranda is a psychologists, so hopefully she understands the difficulties that the families are going through. Also, Argentina's Gross Domestic Product is only about 10,000 US dollars. Furthermore, this site talks about other issues that include freedom, economical loans, and times where Argentina's economy fell the most. With this information, Ms. Miranda and I can find ways to help the people in Argentina.


Site 4
This site provides information of the child rights in Argentina. This is crucial to the speech because what if Ms, Miranda's actions were considered kidnapping in Argentina (very unlikely, but for goodness sake). Although most of the parents and the family members agree to letting their children be taught by PETISOS. Also, Argentina's child laws are based on United Nations child rights. In addition, the laws state that it is voluntary for children to have an education. Elena has just helped free these children from juvenile hall and brought them a better life. In the end, the PETISOS will be able to help lots of children in Argentina and they will most definitely make a change to this world.
