En esta segunda edición de LoveArgentina Party, estamos trabajando con APARU y Fundación Sicilia, para ayudar a jóvenes de la ciudad de General Güemes, Salta provincia, a completar sus estudios secundarios.
“Este evento nació de la necesidad de ayudar Argentina y promover nuestra cultura. Estamos ansiosos de lanzar esta segunda edición” digo Agustín Rubini, Organizador de LoveArgentina I.
En esta ocasión la meta es recaudar £7000 para dar 20 becas a jóvenes que pertenecen a familias poco privilegiadas y darles así la oportunidad de tener acceso a una educación que les permita ampliar sus posibilidades.
¿Cómo vamos a conseguir nuestra meta? Organizando una fiesta increíble y reuniendo 750 invitados para que disfruten de la comida, la bebida y la música tradicional de Argentina.

Love Argentina I
La primera edición de LoveArgentina se llevó a cabo en Septiembre 2007, en una embarcación en el Río Támesis. 500 invitados internacionales se acercaron a disfrutar del evento y colaboraron en la recaudación de £3000 para ayudar a niños argentinos de escasos recursos. Contamos con 25 embajadores de evento y con el Embajador de Argentina en Londres quien se mostró muy entusiasmado con el concepto del grupo y el objetivo de la celebración.
“Estoy muy contento de estar aquí, y quiero felicitarlos. A pesar de estar tan lejos de Argentina, están haciendo un gran trabajo promocionando nuestro país. Sólo quiero decir gracias por lo que hacen” comentó Federico Mirre Embajador de Argentina en Londres en 2007.
Ahora en esta segunda celebración la meta es reunir al menos 750 invitados, y recaudar £7000, para ayudar a los niños del norte de Argentina, a que terminen su educación secundaria.
Estamos listos para el desafío – Argentina puede estar a la vuelta de la esquina, aquí en Londres, sólo por una noche! Te esperamos!
