Of ‘Physics or Chemistry’ to a village in Kenya: the actress who parked the tele by a school of children

Sandra Blázquez started acting at 10 years old and starred in series such as ‘Physics or Chemistry’; today he works in the bar family, and, with her friend Mary, up a school in Africa

Had a program called the Club Megatrix, was a Soul in Physical or Chemical, made of Fabiola in The exit class, it was called Rosarito in The life of Rita, the Moon was in Change of class, got into the skin of Light in the Land of wolves, acted as Maria Jose in Live singing, you will remember as Huertas Lopez in Acacias 38…

But to the children in kenya that -before the introduction of she – ate once every two days in the wasteland that is Chumvi not by a long shot they sounded like the actress Sandra Blázquez. For three reasons: don’t have time for fiction, not have light, do not have tv.

What they do have in that wasteland from which came those two girls Spanish is a school with four classrooms. And one hot meal a day for 100 children. And four teachers. And two guards. And a cook. And five latrines. And a well.

This is the movie of two friends of the College Summit in Madrid emperraron in a dream, humanitarian and did so without hardly any help in a couple of years. This is also the movie of María Fábregas, educator, social began volunteering with the Red Cross. This is finally the movie of Sandra Blázquez: the girl most promising of the Spanish cinema began at the age of 10 on the screen, takes you from February on unemployment and waiting for the phone rings, works as a waitress in the bar of their parents. But -this do not put it on Wikipedia – is taking a leading role in the hell of Chumvi.

“Many times I think that it is incompatible to be an actress in cooperation with: that of being always well-dressed, gorgeous, go photocall in photocall, display networks… Because, in this profession, if you do not do all of that, you’re a weirdo. Sometimes I say to Mary: I don’t know if I will be able to with the two things at the same time… There’s a part of me that tells me to forget about the film. And grow”.

In the first place, attention is called to the light baggage who came to Kenya in 2015: two white women, without knowing English, with a dictionary in hand, in black Africa for the first time. In the second place, is surprised by the minimalism of the structure: the NGO Idea Free created in 2014 it is formed only by them two. In the third place, we put the accent in the contrast noted above: instead of the centres of the Cannes film festival, actress Sandra Blázquez prefer the dim light of Chumvi.

The baptism was in December of 2013, while Mary made a substitution as an educator and Sandra shooting Live singing. Saved money, got a step to a side, they traveled to an orphanage moroccan in Errachidia to help and there -for several weeks – known stories of the film as Ryan, a child of three years that I did not know to speak and that no one took them out of the crib. “To turn thought we had abandoned those children, and we ask that you would make something that would endure”.
