Update: sponsoring streetchildren

After doing some calculations I can proudly announce that as of today an amount of over 4300 Argentine pesos (almost 1000 Euro) has been given by the different sponsors to support the streetchildren in Buenos Aires. This amount will be used exclusively for projects in BA to support them. This is a very good result, reached in only a few weeks.
The project is working!! I sincerely hope that this will inspire others to support it.

mailing friends and partners about the blog

I made an address book to send the blog's address around to friends and contacts. On my webpage www.marijkedevries.nl there is a button now, to go to the blog directly.

My residency period in Buenos Aires will consist of a period of preparation (March and part of April), 5 days of working at Proyecto'Ace in April and the actual residency period there which will be from May 4- May 22. My opening at Proyecto'Ace will be on May 20. I invite everyone to come, of course!

Today, February 4, I'm starting this blog to update my partners, sponsors, family and friends about my residency in Buenos Aires. 
In the period of March 14- May 28 I will be in my 'second hometown' to make art, to dance, to write, to help street children.
From May 1- May 22 I will be working as artist in residence in Proyecto'Ace.
See www.proyectoace.com.ar for what they do....I am really happy! I created time and opportunity for my art work. And I believe that it will have a great result.

The ticket is bought, I rented my house, the residency is secured....now it's just preparing and planning until I leave Amsterdam in March.

More about the project, in the next blog!
