Subject: Invitation to Free Radicals' "Benefit for Bolivia" - Saturday 25th
March at Crookes Social Club
39 Everton Road.
Dear Neighbours and ECCO members,
Last year we spent 6 months travelling in Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.
Part of that trip was two months spent in Bolivia. In particular we spent two
weeks in Cochabamba as guests of social movement activists who had been part of
the movement that led to Evo Morales being elected as the first indigenous
President of a South American country since the Spanish invasion 500 years ago.
While we were there we spent a small amount of time with a brilliant “Bartolina
Sisa” women’s training and empowerment organisation based high up in the hills
round Cochabamba in rural Pongo. The organisation works with poor and
marginalised rural women to enable them to take advantage of the provision in
the new Constitution for equality of women, to which the government has a
strong commitment.
Emer’s band “The Free Radicals” is playing a benefit gig at Crookes Social Club
on next Saturday 25th March to raise funds for this organisation. The band is a
great dance band playing soul and dance classics, and it will be a great night.
It’s also an opportunity to practice a bit salsa if you wish. We very much
hope that might be interested in coming. Just turn up, entry on the night. Full
details on the attached leaflet.
All the best,
Emer McKay
