Yarden is trying to be a good person

 By this point, any of you that are actually following this blog have heard of the infamous Kike. He's a party animal and knows just about everyone in this city, and has been hooking it up for me since the day I've gotten here. 

Butttt despite the fact that he's fun to go out with and what not, he's involved in a ton of things to try and make this world of ours a better place. And if you know me at all you know I'm a sucker for good causes. 

SO basically, the project he's been working on recently is called The Simbal Project- Youth Helping Youth. The goal of this initiative is to connect young people across the world by raising money to build a Public Park for 2,000 children in a small town called Simbal in Peru, his home country. 

Here is a shortened message from Kike and his brother Miguel:

Letter to our friends; If you are reading this letter it is because at some point in your life you have had the opportunity to better yourself or seek a better life. But we all know and are all aware that there are many people in the world that do not have the same luck. Whether you have a connection to Simbal or not, have heard of Simbal or not, it is a beautiful town about 32 kilometers from Trujillo in Peru. We were always used to going there since we were little, and we have the most amazing memories from our childhood there. Presently we reside in Barcelona and we are truly very happy with the great people that we have met here throughout the years. We have always shared a common dream, and it is the power to provide a contribution for the improvement and progress of this beautiful town whose population is almost 40% children. On our end we will utilize our respective jobs as a platform in order to collect funds and be able to carry out the great dream of 2011: to construct a public children’s park in the Simbal District for the almost 2000 children that live in and around the town so that they can have a recreational space that currently does not exist anywhere. At the moment we are coordinating with the Simbal educational center in order to be able to make use of an area of 2000 squared meters where the children’s park can be built: THE SIMBAL PROJECT PARK (El Parque del Proyecto Simbal). The project is already underway with private funds that have been generously donated by a group of people that are already collaborating. But if some day you feel that you can help and become part of this special project, you can provide your contribution in the following way: there will be many rubber bracelets available for purchase with the slogan “BARCELONA LOVIN;” and the money that is raised from them will go entirely towards the construction and fulfillment of this project. Price: 2 Euros. Thank you so much for your time and best of luck with everything. Sincerely, Kike y Miguel Cedamanos

And now you guys can all see why I think these guys are so great. I'm trying to get the word out a bit about these bracelets, and anyone that has ever been to Barcelona should be repping one. And if you haven't been to Barcelona and you'd like to feel like you're a part of a good cause, you should also be repping one. I have not taken mine off since I got it :)

Anyway, if you are interested in purchasing one let me know! 

Until next time....
