Charity Argentine Tango weekend

Jar and I have put together a Charity Tango weekend to raise money for a school in Thailand in order to raise funds so that they can employ more teachers.
We have invited a very exciting Tango couple from Brazil (see details below). There will be a weekend of classes, a Milonga with lots of surprise and many ways for you to donate.
