With all the 40th anniversary mayhem, the hardcore gente got together to finish up the Ahecha PY participatory photo proposal for PC Partnership. Great news – we got it done and turned it in the final version, complete with budget and timeline, to Ceci! The biggest updates have been forming ties with Kodak Paraguay (thanks to Walid and his contacts from the Ud. Puede photo series, we are working out some camera and printing deals with Kodak) and the CCPA (we can reserve their space for exhibits! Gratis!).
So – as long as we don't run into any roadblocks from the Peace Corps Paraguay review committee and Washington (in a conversation I had with our PC Regional Director Allene Zenger, she said that she would sign off on the project!), the next step is to ramp up for donations publicity!
Here's how it's going to work – if we get approved as a Partnership project, PC Washington will put our project on the official PC website by mid-October (according to Ceci's estimate). Then we need to bombard all of our connections to get them to make tax-deductible donations via the PC website. As soon as we reach our goal, PC will cut us the check! Y así es.
Caught the excitement? Come on out to our next meeting on Saturday, September 29 (day of NVAC meeting) at 3 PM at the food court at Shopping del Sol . After the meeting, some of us will be heading over to check out modern Paraguayan art at the Museo del Barro, just a short walk from Shopping del Sol.
Sol-ong,
