Welsh language schools in Patagonia need more teachers.
They hope to preserve the language and traditions that have existed in the Argentine province since the first settlers arrived in 1865 aiming to build a safe haven for the language.
Today it is estimated that between 2,000-5,000 Argentines speak Welsh.
The British Council funds three Welsh language teachers in the Wladfa settlement, but recruitment has been a problem since Covid.
Welsh is spoken mainly in the Gaiman area of Chubut province some 650 miles south of Buenos Aires, as well as in the towns of Trevelin and Esquel close to the border with Chile.
