Recogida de ropa para los campamentos de refugiados en Siria


Os dejo la carta firmada por el Director de Contemporary Art Platform Abed Alkadiri en la que se nos pide ayuda para recoger ropa de invierno para los campos de refugiados sirios que en este momento están pasando muchas penurias. Yo me comprometo a recibir vuestras cajas/bolsas de ropa y/o mantas y llevarlas semanalmente a CAP aunque lo mejor sería que fuerais vosotros para allí, ahora que si eso va a ser un problema me ofrezco voluntaria a hacerlo. Que la generosidad española quede latente con este simple gesto de deshacernos de cosas que pueden ayudar a otros.




Dear All,

As the situation in Syria reaches an unprecedented Humanitarian catastrophe, many families have been displaced and are living in refugee camps under tents in subzero temperatures. Many children have died only because of the freezing temperatures.

CAP will be cooperating with Green Art Gallery- Dubai with their great mission to put an effort to collect as many winter clothes as possible and to ship them over to the camps, please share this appeal for clothes donation for both adults and children. Shoes, blankets, sweaters , hats, scarves , anything warm even if it's one item will help tremendously.

As for those who are wondering where is this appeal will be going; It's going to Olive tree Camp in Atmeh, Syria which is basically called " the forgotten refugees"/ This camp is on the border with Turkey, where thousands of refugees were sleeping under the Idleb sky, without shelter. Immediately tents were purchased and the camp was setup – now it is temporary tent city of over 13,000 people. This is the worst hit camp as there is no one helping them with anything...

Here's more info about the camp. http://www.maramfoundation.org/

The drop off point will be at Contemporary Art Platform, Industrial Shuwaikh, Block 2, St. 28, Life Center, Mezzanine. We will continue to gather until we have a large quantity to ship it to Dubai. But of course the earlier the better.
For those of you don't live in Kuwaiti, please consider sharing this with as many people as you know who live in Kuwait.

Please note that:
• The drop off will be between 10:00am – 8:00pm except on Friday its off.
• We are aiming to ship out by early January so you can drop off until then.

Thank you everyone

Olímpicas en Londres | Olympics in London

Llevo varios días viendo la misma campaña de publicidad de la revista Marie Claire y ha sido mi hijo A* el que me ha contado que la prota era una de las dos mujeres que han representado a Kuwait en las olimpiadas de 2012 en Londres. Faye Sultan es la primera mujer en ir a las olimpiadas para la prueba de 50 mts libre de natación. U ltimó su entrenamiento en el centro de alto rendimiento de Calella donde se grabó esta entrevista . Creo que quedó séptima. La chica es mona y la verdad es que el departamento de producción ha hecho un gran trabajo. Seguro que habéis visto su video del making off  en NYC en todas las pantallas del país, y digo pantallas por que aquí la publicidad por todas partes se ofrece en movimiento a través de pantallas de tv (Leds, supongo). La moza tiene 18 años y mide 1.82 mts así que podría dedicarse a esto si con la natación o la universidad donde ha empezado este año no le va bien. Os dejo una imagen de ella entrando al estadio olímpico donde la veo inclu

Spanish fashion in Kuwait | Moda Española en Kuwait II parte

As we discussed in previous post, the Spanish fashion has a big representation here. Once again, the Inditex group is in all world and markets but "Not only of Zara can the human being dress", right? Companies such as Condor have been installed in this country for a long time and that for moms like me who like the quality and variety of brand socks is helpful (in Baroue find them). Hoss Intropia is also in Kuwait (In The Avenues Mall) rather more expensive than in Spain but the truth is that it's good to go to the store and see the richness of the fabrics and skill in designing clothes. I have a dress that once landed in Bilbao I'll see if I can still find it and buy it.  And we are also fortunate to have Adolfo Dominguez (also in The Avenues Mall) the store is huge and has the entire collection including U the young brand. Something I realy miss is a good brand of Spanish Shoes with good prices. We are lucky to have  Pretty Ballerinas and from time to time Casta
