'Tú sí que vienes' Charity Event promotion on school tv

Hi everyone. As you probably know Fernando III students are holding a charity event right after Easter holidays to raise money for charity, specifically for an NGOcalled Anini which is based in Guatemala and helps underprivileged children. The show will be similar to Tú sí que vales, America's got Talent, Britain's got Talent and the like.
You can get updated information about the show on the event's blog, a Tuenti's site and info about Anini on their website


In a few days, four schoolmates will be making a self promotional movie to tell you all about the event. It'll be shown on school tv from next week through March. Here's the script: 
          El IES Fernando II va a realizar una gala benéfica llamada Tú sí que vienes con el fin de recaudar fondos para una asociación llamada Anini localizada en Guatemala que se encarga de acoger a niños abandonados y escolarizar a otros con pocos recursos. 
          La gala tendrá lugar a la vuelta de vacaciones de Semana Santa e incluirá diversos espectáculos de alumnos del instituto, de secundaria y bachillerato. El dinero recaudado se destinará íntegramente a los niños que atiende la asociación Anini. Para más información, visitad la web de la ONG.
          Gracias por vuestra atención. Esperamos vuestra asistencia al acto y vuestra colaboración. Es una buena causa así que ¡no faltéis a nuestra cita!
