Rio Dulce, Guatemala
April 2018
Our partner, Casa Guatemala, "seeks to provide a safe home, love and nurturing, proper health care, and an excellent education to the children of Guatemala who are abused, abandoned, malnourished, or living in extreme poverty." Their vision is "to equip the children in their care with the skills and education needed to become upstanding, empowered citizens in their community and to become fully self-sustained through the businesses that they run which provide financial support and meaningful job training for the older children."
During our 2 week chapter we have donated 45 musical instruments and 5 music learning books. Other creative projects included making maracas, painting canvas with how different music evokes us, musical education games, and painting a tiled mural to celebrate our theme of journey "Viva La Música."
