Excited and Enthousiastic.....

Hello Again,

We have been getting into the social media and blog-o-shere for just a couple of weeks now. It feels good to tell others about what's been happening with the Indiegogo pre-launch. We've been working on the videos ....tomorrow the emails.

Trying to ask for likes and attention feels a little weird, but we don't know any other way to get the word out about our daughter Avah. 
The very high cost of her daily travel which is not subsidized by the Dutch government because such a program does not exist yet, is more than we can afford and we are looking for (financial) supporters and persons willing to spread the word.

Why support a 14 year old ballet student?

Well first of all, she joined the ballet academy when she was 10. Her ballet teacher said, 'why don't you try out for the ballet academy?'
So we inquired and found out that the auditions were already over. 
"Oh...now what? We missed our chance", we said to ourselves. They said she was allowed to come to a lesson of the children who had been in the orientation program (and now were ready for the first year). So Avah went and danced with the others, some had been in the orientation for 2 years already. They saw Avah, they said... Yes, she can start this school year. 

So that was when it all began....

Now Avah is still doing well with her classical dance and keeping up with her homework. She has 14-16 hours of dance per week plus her HAVO (high school) and we live far enough away from Amsterdam that she is travelling 100+km per day!

Please watch the videos and pass the links along to anyone who digs culture, has a passion for the arts, thinks about helping the little guy, or would like to do a little something for someone else that would mean very much to them. 

Let's face it, all kinds of good causes want your attention, this one is right here under your mouse click. 
There are some really cool Perks based on your contribution level...

Thursday 25 September the campaign will launch.
