Hi Friends and Family, 

As you know I have been practicing Capoeira a little over 15 years. Capoeira has helped to shape my life. I started practicing at the UCA in Berkeley, CA with mestre Acordeon, mestre Rã y mestra Suely. I had worked and taught in that space for many years, I have seen how hard is to maintain and support a space and a community like this one. The community is like a second family and the space like a second house. 

Now we are having financial problems and we are at risk of closing the space. The UCA lost a very important grand that helped with the cost of the academy. We are doing a roda-thon to raise some founds to keep the space open. It would be awesome if you can make a donation (since I won't be able to participate in the roda thon, please make flat donations, thank you! ). Please feel free to contact me if you need more information. 

Thank you!
