UNO A UNO COTACACHI Serving the Developing World, One Person at a Time
A Rose Charities Project
Want to be able to speak conversational Spanish once and for all without breaking the bank or ripping your hair out in frustration?
Want a chance to help create brighter futures for the local Cotacachians struggling to make ends meet at the same time? Uno a Uno Cotacachi is a proposed not-for-profit foundation in Cotacachi, Ecuador, to be set up as a project of Rose Charities (a registered Canadian and American charity that is 100% secular, and non-political with the sole mandate to help the poor), with the goal to serve Cotacachi and its surrounding communities by providing free English classes to children and adults, free tutoring services to children, and affordable conversational Spanish classes to expats. Come to the info meeting for expats to learn more about how you can benefit from and help others by being involved with Uno a Uno Cotacachi (i.e. attend Spanish classes, donate, and/or volunteer)! Date & Time: Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 3 p.m. Location: City Hall (Salon de Municipio), located at
Parque Matriz, on the corner of Gonzales Suarez and Garcia Moreno
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all!

realize the Uno a Uno dream.

ARRANGED + Post Film Conversation (Diane Crespo and Stefan Schaefer, USA, 2006, 103 minutes, In Ingles sin Subtítulos). Winner of four International Film Awards Two young women— one Muslim, the other Orthodox Jewish—are drawn toward one another as they navigate traditional ways of finding partners in a nontraditional world. Nasira and Rochel are teachers at the same public school in Brooklyn and find themselves fighting similar battles: a patronizing school principal and family pressures. Arranged takes on some tough questions about the role of tradition in finding a mate, and the challenge of reconciling modernity and faith. "Arranged" is a must-see in this globalized world." – Alex Navissi NEXT WEEK - HUGO - Winner of Five Academy award plus seven other film awards. “One of the year's very best, HUGO is a rousing, moving, poignant tale being told on many more levels than what is seen on screen” – R. L. Shaffer, IGN ***Admission is by donation. Suggested Donation is $5 per adult, more if you are able, less if you are not able. By coming out and supporting the theatre, you also support the Foundation AMI that cares for and nurtures the development of abandoned and abused Ecuadorian Children between the ages of 0-4 years old.* TRANSPORTATION: We will meet at San Francisco Square at 1:20 to carpool by taxi to the theatre.
