News on the media

I'm enclosing an interesting article about the "Comedores" situation in La Plata City. Sorry it's in spanish as came from a local newspaper El Día. A translation will be available soon.

Part of the note was done at "Sonrisa de un Niño" with Angélica Sotelo.

Kid's day - Día del Niño - NEW COLLECTION (II)

This collection is pretty close to finish. Please remember we're closing it on Tuesday 7th in order to have enough time to buy the necessary stuff by Sunday. Thanks again for your support!

Kid's day - Día del Niño - NEW COLLECTION

I’m arranging a new collection in occasion of the celebration of the “kid’s day” on the 12th of August. The idea is to close it by Wednesday the 7th in order to have enough time organize the purchase and distribution.
My first intention was to do this collection later on spring time, but due to the extremely cold winter we’re going trough -with snow included-, I feel force to anticipate it. We need to increase the vitamins and caloric power on the food. And there is no better occasion than their day.
E-mail to castro@inbox.com or Skype me at castro.r and I’ll find the way to make it work. Supporters in Argentina can collaborate as well with toys, child’s clothes or food.
Thanks again.
