LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR HISTORY
Not remaining fallen is the story of The Spartans, a rugby team created by Eduardo “Coco” Oderigo that managed to change the lives of countless people thanks to sport, spirituality, education and formal work.
This book provides life testimonies of The Spartans, the rugby team of Penitentiary Unit No 48 of San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. They confront us with a tough reality: there are those that have been destined from the time that they were born to have a very underprivileged life. They grew up with very difficult childhoods that reflect a true representation of hell.
