DESCRIPTION:Guests will enjoy an evening of Latin music by guitarist-songwriter Alfredo 
 Gomez and friends, photos of Latin America by award-winning journalists, 
 wine and cheese as Project Luz raises funds to bring photography 
 instruction to the children of Mexico. The project will focus on how 
 immigration issues affect the youth of a rural Mexican town near the U.S. 
 border.  \n\nThe fundraiser will be held Thursday, July 19, at The Mexican 
 Consulate, 532 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA, 94105, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 
 p.m. A donation of $15 is requested at the door. The Ceja and Robledo 
 Family Wineries of Napa and Sonoma will provide wine.  \n \n“Project Luz 
 seeks to empower the economically and socially underserved children of 
 northern Mexico with the help of dedicated and established artists,” said 
 Jasmin Lopez, Project Luz founder and director. “We strive to provide 
 children with resources, such as arts-based workshops, that will help build 
 the confidence and creativity they need to make a positive difference in 
 their lives and in their communities.”\n\nSinger-songwriter Alfredo Gomez 
 studied classical guitar in Guadalajara, Mexico.  He now lives in the Bay 
 Area, where he performs his original music at a variety of venues, singing 
 of love and the human condition in a style known as “trova.”  Gomez’ 
 music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/alfredoguitarra.\n\nTrova is 
 one of the earliest popular song traditions to originate on Cuba’s 
 eastern coast.  The style's practitioners, called “trovadores,” lived 
 much like the medieval troubadours, traveling about and supporting 
 themselves with the meager monetary rewards from performing. Their songs 
 dispersed news and gossip, often through satire.\n\nFor more information,
