I started my volunteer work at the FBAS, after four weeks of Spanish lessons at the Amauta Spanish School in Palermo. This was a great choice as I was really needed, and it gave me the opportunity to see a totally different side of Buenos Aires. As a volunteer at FBAS you get involved from the first minute you enter the office, from that moment on, you are one of them. 
On Thursdays we used to hand out condoms on the streets and visited houses where the transvestites and prostitutes live.  I was glad to see they really appreciate our work. We advise them to let them be tested for HIV. It is important know how many people are infected  in order to decrease the number of HIV infected people,. To assure them that it´s free, anonymous and secure we hope to convince them of taking a test. If  HIV is detected, they´ll get medicines for free. 

I also spent some days with my «boss», Alex Freyre. Alex is actually the first gay person who got officially married) in Argentina (with another man and he fights for equal rights within same-sex marriage. Alex is also often asked on television and radio shows and he always stresses how important it is that everyone has the same rights, regardless of your sexual preference. I also attended a press conference where we are trying to get as many positive votes of the senators. the law will be adopted when the majority of the senators vote for equal rights.
Volunteering in Buenos Aires at FBAS was the most impressive period during my stay in Argentina and I would definitely recommend anyone to volunteer at FBAS!   Just write!
