The Colombian Red Cross will be on hand to pick up the goods. The event features many local artists from the Hip Hop community and Rock/Punk scene. Live painting and many more activities.
Once again would like to thank Uprise Skate Shop and Affiliate Skateboard Company from the Chi. So far the mission has gone very well, Barrio Simon Bolivar has eight skaters with new decks and wheels.
TRP along with local skaters are organizing a skate jam for the month of March. Stay tune for more info.
TRP has embarked on another mission; we awarded some kids from the barrios of Barranquilla some skateboard decks and a few complete skateboards. So far we have given two decks to kids from Barrio Simon Bolivar and Barrio Rebolo. These kids have learned to skate on some homemade decks and obtain good grades in school, so we granted them some new real pro decks ;good luck boys (Maro and Klinston). Would like to thank Uprise Skate Shop and Affiliate Skateboarding Company from Chicago for suppling the decks and hardware.
From our family to yours, Tinta Roja Projects wishes all of our supporters, friends, artists, crews, and readers, a happy, safe, and Blessed New Year!
Peace.....
Ortega
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is Love. This is how God showed his love amoug Us; he sent his one and only Son into the World that we might live through him. This is love, not that we loved God but that he loved Us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends since God so loved Us, we also ought to love one another. No-one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in Us.
