Opening of Gallery Zaguan.
Trujillo luminaries joined artists and journalists at the opening exhibition of the citie's newest gallery....
The mission of Gallery Zaguan is to help local artiats reach a wider market for their paintings (we also expose them on our art website www.ArtistsOutlet.net), and to raise money for street kids projects. One of our artists, Lalo Valasquez, also teaches painting to the residents of our Shelter, Albergue Nicole DÁmecourt- see below. 18 October 2002

Art clases begin
One of the artists participating in Gallery Zaguan, Lalo Valasquez, who also has won a number of national competitions and is an experienced art instructor, in October began giving instruction to our residents.... Lalo not only teaches them at our facility but also takes them on tours of other galleries and museums in the area to appreciate and copy different styles; as well as taking them into nature to paint what they see.

  We received our first grant from a foundation.
The Christian Community Foundation in Colorado Springs, Colorado, gave Bruce Peru a generous grant to cover the cost of our Tilapia Project (farming fish to supply our 15 Restaurants Corazon). We wish to express our gratitude to the foundation, to David Miller who submitted our application and especially to Floyd Jones who funded the grant. Thank you all.
