I met Margarita Barrientos in 2013, when my sister died in Mar del Plata, the victim of an unconscious driver who was driving his vehicle while looking at his cell phone. She had a black belt in aikido, and also studied music and Japanese Sumi. I inherited their instruments, so I called Margarita to donate them to the Piletones, their magnificent work of helping the children of that slum. I was fascinated from the start, because she answered the call herself. I told her that I had musical instruments to donate, - "so much joy, for the music room" - she replied. I went, I found her smiling, waiting for me, and upon receiving the instruments she proudly showed me all the rooms and the work she did in the Piletones. Afterwards she bought me some "mates" while we talked. Always attentive to her surroundings, she did not miss any detail, it was truly a pleasure to meet her, so dedicated to collaborating for the good of her people and her children. I returned through the town with so much joy and feeling like one of them that seemed to float, in space, "people like that are needed on our planet"... I thought and felt in my heart. I promised her a portrait that for now I could only do with the sketch.List of works:
