Sunday, May 8, 2011 at 5:40PM Hiiii ALEGRIA Community!
We've been very busy and very blessed. We have so much to share with you! Our teams been busy in La Sagrada Familia, in Lima, and in NYC. Here's a few highlights:
Shay's Drawing and Painting Workshop
A huge part of ALEGRIA's work is investing in sustainable resources for the Community. Our fundraising from our first annual Exhibit of Hope in November and throughout this year allowed us to contribute significantly to the orphanage. We provided 6 industrial sewing machines, which will provide much-needed resources for women who come to the community to sew for the kids as well as sew items that bring in income for the orphanage. The machines will also be used for older children's sewing classes. The sewing teacher, Maximiliana, was overwhelmed with gratitude. She works very hard there every day, and her expression alone was worth every dollar and every hour of planning. Muchisimas Gracias, ALEGRIA Community.
ALEGRIA is partnering with Miguel and the Peruvian National Symphonic Orchestra (Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional). We were able to provide resources for 4 violins immediately. Miguel and the Community were overjoyed! Thank you. We are continuing to fundraise over the next few months to invest in music. More to come on this!... Please give today.
We had an ALEGRIA booth at the annual FIT Block Party this last Saturday. We're obsessed with artists using their creative voice to advocate on behalf of those who have very little.. in our case, our kids we support. We can't wait to see what blooms here with FIT + ALEGRIA.
We had a Joy Project this week in the Community. Joy Project = Mobilizing professional artists to teach creative workshop intensives to the children. Our team of Peruvian artists was incredible. Our teaching artists taught 5 workshop intensives to the children: Product Design, Fashion Design, Afro-Peruvian Musical Theatre, Drawing + Painting, and Collage.
Flavia Melendez's Collage Workshop
We can't wait to share stories from each workshop. For now, I'll show you a quick video of our Drawing + Painting workshop. In this workshop, were cuentacuentos.. visual storytellers. Aren't they so talented!?
Many more stories to come. Sheilla will blog next from her incredible Criolla musical theatre workshop.
One final thought... It's Mother's Day today in the US and Peru, and our hearts are with our kids. Kids who live in an orphanage community, who miss their mothers very much, who lack for lots but love abundantly. If you pray, please pray for them today. Please also support them by giving of your resources.. A little goes a long way. Muchas gracias for your generosity and commitment to this important work.
Love,
Shay + The ALEGRIA Team

It does not follow that because we do not subsidize smoking, we should not regulate unhealthy activities. Costs and savings are not the only variable. The fact that obesity creates costs is merely an additional reason to regulate it, not the only one. The main reason is its danger to an individual. weihbq weihbq - moncler coats uk.
