With the death toll rising daily as a result of last month's earthquake in Haiti, some of the main priorities now are to rebuild houses, schools, roads, and other infrastructure. The quake destroyed thousands of homes, leaving some 1,200,000 people homeless.
With this in mind the people of Casares have decided to organise a Marathon Festival on Saturday, 20th February to raise funds for the victims. The impetus for the project is being provided by a local youth group with the collaboration of various associations such as Karama, La Planá Youth Association, Grecina de Villaraguz Women's Association, Unión Deportiva Casares Sports Club, along with local businesses and groups.
Beginning at 5 pm in a marquee set up by the Town Hall in Plaza Marcelino Camacho, Casares , with children's theatre, a flamenco show by the Municipal Dance School, kids' games, etc.
At 6 pm there will be a flamenco spectacular with Ana Fargas, singers Tatiana Pérez and José Manuel Fernández; Paco Javier Jimeno on guitar; Chico Fargas on percussion; and David Jimeno.
At 10 pm the Grecina de Villarraguz women's association will present a theatrical piece, after which the evening will continue with flamenco by Diego Reyes, singers el Niño de Montecoto and Gema Carrasco and Javier on guitar.
Following into the early hours you can enjoy karaoke and music by various invited DJs. Throughout the 'marathon' food and drink will be served from the bar, profits from which will go to the benefit fund, as will the 1 euro entrance fee.
All those interested in collaborating with this initiative, either with donations of cash, food and drink for the bar, etc. should contact the Casa de la Juventud or Radio Casares. Other than that just turn up on the night.
