<p> We want to introduce you to <strong>Mision Mexico</strong> and the beautiful children in the home. Even though this video is very <strong>emotiona</strong>l as you discover what these children have been through, it is also very uplifted as you realize how <strong>love and care has transformed their lives</strong>. Offering them ways to express themselves, rebuild their confidence and self-esteem and forget their past is our main focus. Just by <strong>taping into their imagination and liberating their creativity</strong> we are able to simultaneously <strong>provide them with an education </strong>...EASY RIGHT!&nbsp; As outlined in the WHY FUND IT section of our campaign any extra funds after the 9000&euro; objective will be used to buy the <strong>supplies for the creative workshops</strong> needed to do this. As a very special treat we hope to surprise them with <strong>skate lessons</strong> too. We only need 900&euro; more to make this happen. Given the results in the past few days this is totally possible. If you have friends or family that still want to get involved this is the last chance!</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <div class="embed"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="embedly-embed" frameborder="0" height="304" scrolling="no" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F6E9IufYlddg%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6E9IufYlddg&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F6E9IufYlddg%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></div>
<p dir="ltr"> We have <strong>ACHIEVED </strong>our <strong>first OBJECTIVE</strong> .....<strong>thanks to you</strong>!! This is amazing of course and it means the trip will happen..... YES. The first objective was the very minimum we need however, and there is <strong>a lot that we could do with extra money</strong>. Any extra funds raised from now would be used to:</p> <p dir="ltr"> 1)<strong> </strong>Buy <strong>supplies </strong>for the <strong>creative workshops</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"> 2)<strong> </strong>Rent <strong>audiovisual material</strong> to create a <strong>video</strong> of this amazing experience.</p> <p> 3) Fund<strong> expences</strong> <strong>for</strong> Tony&nbsp;Marquais, a <strong>pro skater </strong>from Bordeaux, France who dreams of <strong>sharing his passion, knowledge and expertise as a skate teacher</strong> with the Mexican children.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> In reality <strong>we would need more than 16 000&euro;</strong> to be able to achieve all our goals during this trip so please <strong>don&#39;t&nbsp;stop&nbsp;sharing</strong> and keep helping us ! <strong>Thank you again</strong> from all the team.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="1779114_10151851419780940_1900861802_n-1436733883" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/217994/1779114_10151851419780940_1900861802_n-1436733883.jpg" /></p> <p> <img alt="Ruben_skating-1436733956" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/217995/Ruben_skating-1436733956.jpg" /></p>
<p> Since our message yesterday we have gone from 63% of our objective to 76%!!! All up we have had 100 bankers and an average of 68&euro; per participant. This is amazing and it means you focusing a few carefully selected people is working. If we keep going with this strategy we will surely be able to raise the remaining 2000&euro; in time.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Thanks everyone! Keep up the great work.</p>
<p> Hi everyone,</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> First of all thanks once again for all your support. You have been amazing. Even though we are doing great we still have a huge feat ahead of us! <strong>We have only 6 days left to raise 3300&euro;! </strong>Yes, it sounds huge but actually <strong>there is one very easy way to achieve this.</strong></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> If every one of us finds <strong>just one person</strong> to participate we will reach and probably even surpass our objective. If we reach it we are <strong>on the plane</strong> to join the kids that are anxiously waiting for us and if we surpass it we will be able to buy the art equipment that we need for the creative workshops. This would be amazing!</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> We know we have asked a lot of you already and you have come through but in order for us to access the funds you have so generously donated we have to achieve our objective. Otherwise it has all been for nothing. So please try and think of just 2 or 3 people you could seriously be touched by this project and write them a personal message. Who knows maybe they will all make a donation but more than likely out of three there will be only one. We figure if you have made a donation then your friends and family probably have solid values and a big heart too. <strong>They will probably even thank you</strong> for offering them this <strong>opportunity of joining us on this journey</strong>.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> If we reach our objective then we go to Mexico. If we go to Mexico the kids create. If the kids create we make a collection. If we make a collection it gets sold. When it is sold <strong>the kids get an education like these lucky ones below</strong>. Education is key in keeping these kids off the streets and reintegrated back into society. Please make just one last effort and send a couple of personal emails. <strong>These kid&rsquo;s futures depend on it</strong>. Lot&rsquo;s of love to you all.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Roland.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <img alt="10945775_927864143893229_2656608063152998183_n-1436365262" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/217093/10945775_927864143893229_2656608063152998183_n-1436365262.jpg" /></p> <p> <img alt="School-1436365298" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/217094/school-1436365298.jpg" /></p>

They are now at&nbsp;<strong>Mision Mexico</strong>&nbsp;where they are&nbsp;<strong>fed&nbsp;</strong>and&nbsp;<strong>protected.</strong>&nbsp;We can&#39;t wait to get creative with them !&nbsp;<strong>Join us</strong>&nbsp;on this incredible journey.
