Retamar and The Toyo are a set of accommodated urbanizations in the locality of Almeria, joined after the construction of the latter for the Mediterranean Games XV. They are placed to approximately 13 km from the center of cardinal Almeria, coming from Almeria for the highway AL-12 and from the highway of the Mediterranean for the N-344, approximately approximately 10 minutes in car.

CHARITY PROJECT "What's in the jar?"

For English class we had to organize groups of 4/5 people have had to create an idea and expose it in class in order to raise money for charitable association. It can be animal, people etc. ..

My group elected as its charitable organization "Save the Children" ONG responsable for the protection, bad nutrition, etc. .. of children in underdeveloped countries. We found it very interesting and influential ONG.

Among many activities and options to raise money, we decided on a "singstar Contest". The activities consisted of singing popular songs in a Karaoke and go passing phases or rounds. The price would be 1 euro and a prize winner would not yet decided.

We presented a powerpoint explaining our idea to raise money, but it was not the one selected. The selected was "What's in the jar?". All money raised will go toward the association "Caritas". The activity was to guess how many sweets were in the box, the person who guess the number, won all the sweets.

The whole class was divided various functions to help in organizing the activity. Some made ​​posters, others bought the sweets .. I personally took charge setting the activity with music. With the intention of what the people were interested in coming.

The activity was a success and a lot of money was collected for the ONG "Cáritas".

My ability

My ability is to play the guitar. I play electric and acoustic guitar. I play bass and piano too.

I´ve learnt alone when i was twelve years old.

Since always i loved rockandroll. I got amazed with the crazy guitarists and the guitars solos and i said " I want to be a guitarist"

When i started to play the guitar, i feel soo stressed beacuse it was soo difficult for me. Now i feel relax and i love to play every day beacause it helps me to forget everything.

I play the guitar in 3 differents bands: "Fail" " Cricket Sound" and now with " War frogs". I colaborate now with kenia Murton. Im her manager, music producer and guitarist.

All my family like it when i play the guitar, but my parents never ever helped me with buying guitars, amplifiers, pedalboards.. That´s a great satisfaction for me because i buy all of them with my money.

I love to play the guitar when i stay with friends, in particular when i stay with a lot of girls. All girls like how i play.

Definitely starting and learning to play the guitar alone has been the best decission that i took in all my life.

Now i show you some videos on my ability:
