Thanks for your support!

Party for a great cause at Magdalena's Party this saturday!

As some of you may know, last year we lost our home in Barracas where we held classes and after school activities for the kids and their families in the Barracas/Boca/Constitucion areas. Since then, we have been doing smaller events in a conventillo & a nearby park in Barracas, but we are desperate to find a new home so that we can reach more kids and give them all a positive environment to learn and come together as a community.

Magdalena's Party has been so kind as to donate the proceeds from the night's festivities towards helping CUDLP find a new community center! This being said, please come out with a few friends knowing that not only will you have an awesome time at one of the best bars in the city, but you will also be helping us towards our goal of finding a new home this year so we can continue to grow and help even more children and their families!

Let's party for a great cause! Welcome!

Place: Magdalena's Party
Time: Saturday 28.4. / 23 pm
Address: Thames 1795

Volunteer in Buenos Aires in 2012

In 2012, we have decided to meet regularly on Fridays at 17hrs00. The venue may change week to week but the day and the time will remain the same. We are exploring the idea of holding the the club sessions in the conventillos in which the children live.

Our aims are to formally register the club as a charity in Argentina and to raise enough funds to move to a building of our own where we can be open all week and grow to be more of a community centre than just an after school club. It may take some time but your help and support along the way to achieving this goal will be greatly appreciated.

We are currently meeting on Fridays at 17hrs00.

Get in touch to find out where to meet us.

We look forward to meeting you!

Hey everyone,

This coming weekend on Sunday we are going to be going with the pibes to the Natural Sciences Museum by Parque Centenario, to see some dinosaurs! It should be a fun outing; a chance for older volunteers to see the pibes again, and new volunteers to meet them.

The information you need- we will be meeting infront of the Congreso (building on rivadavia 1800) at 1:15pm this Sunday (10 April). From there we will go and pick up the pibes to then take them to the museum!

SALIDA- meet 1:15pm este domingo

Hola a todos,

El fin de semana que viene nos vamos con los pibes al Museo de Ciencias Naturales cerca de Parque Centenario a ver algunos dinosaurios! Debe ser una salida divertida; una oportunidad para los voluntarios mas experienciados a ver los pibes de nuevo, y los nuevos voluntarios conocerlos

La información que necesitas- nos reunimos enfrente de Congreso (rivadavia 1800) a las 1:15pm este domingo (10 Abril). De alla iremos a buscar los pibes y llevarlos al museo.

El evento para recaudar fondos el viernes pasado

Hola a todos,

Gracias a todos los que llevaron amigos al evento del viernes en Pagana, para recaudar fondos para el club. Recaudamos 500 pesos y tuvimos la oportunidad a hablar con bastante gente sobre del club. Ahora podemos usar el dinero para sopotar nuestras actividades con los pibes. 

La idea es hacer un evento distinto cada mes para recaudar fondos. Voy a continuar buscando lugares donde podemos hacer eventos y pensando en ideas nuevas. Por favor, avisenme si tienen algunas ideas en el aspecto de nuestras actividades.

Hi everybody, 
Thanks to everyone who invited friends to the event on Friday in Pagana to raise money for the club. We raised 500 pesos and we had the opportunity to talk to plenty of people about the club. Now we can use the extra money to support our activities with the children. 

The idea is to do a different event each month to raise money. I will continue looking for places where we can do events and be thinking about new ideas. Please, let me know if you have any ideas in this respect.

Perhaps we could distribute fliers the same night, whilst the event is happening to invite people in the street to come. Also, we should distribute fliers in the days before Friday. I have designed a flier and can send it to anyone who wishes to help if they send an email to the above email addresses. It would be great if you could distribute them between friends as well as in your schoosl/universities/workplaces etc.

Also, I really need volunteers to help me during the night on Friday - if anyone would be able to help out please send me an email!

Thanks

I hope to see as many of you there as possible!

Sigamos buscando/We Continue looking

Hi everyone,
unfortunately our plans to open the club in conjuction with the Pibes de Playon have fallen through, as a result we are still looking for a new place for the club. Don't worry, we are looking as hard as we can to try and find a new place for our pibes, and hopefully is won't be long until we can get the club running as usual! Despite our lack of a new home, we are still meeting and seeing the pibes; a new outing with the pibes will be posted in the near future, and more news as to the progress of our search!

Hope everyone is well,
Rafa

Hola todos,
desasfortunadamente nuestros planes para abrir el club con los 'Pibes de Playon' se vino abajo, por lo tanto todavia estamos buscando un nuevo lugar para el club. No se preocupen, estamos buscando por todas partes para intentar encontrar un nuevo lugar para nuestros pibes, y ¡esperamos que no pase mucho tiempo hasta que el club comienze a funcionar normalmente! A pesar de que nos falta un nuevo hogar, todavia nos estamos reuniendo y viendo a los pibes. Publicaremos una nueva salida con los pibes en nuestro blog, y más noticias sobre el progreso de nuestra búsqueda!

Espero que todos estén bien,
Rafa
