The FEM team reunited and organised a fundraising event to help the UPYA project. Pacho, Mercedes and their family were the guests of honor of a lovely evening full of music, passionate volunteers, caring people and a very warm public.
In the very heart of Cartagena's historic district and with the support of the Alliance française of Cartagena, who offered a beautiful colonil backyard as the scenario for the evening, we manage to raise almost 700 USD for the UPYA project.
We must thank all the artists who were part of this: Laura y Omar, Cheekie Pie, Camilo y Raf, Roy Raus, Periferia, Jesús, Orquesta de Cámara Tito Sangiorgi.... your energy and music were essential, and your solidarity and enthusiasm rubed off on the public.
After this great event, we are sure of something, this might be our first fundraising event, but won't be the last!
We will certainly keep you posted on updates and let you know how UPYA is getting bigger thanks to all of you.
Thanks for your solidarity,
