Making peace through music

Our purpose as Foundation in these times of pandemic is that none of our children are left disconnected from school and from us. This is why we lauched our “KEEP ON STUDYING” (“SEGUIMOS ESTUDIANDO”) campaign, because every child deserves a chance to keep on studying.

In these past few months, we’ve delivered 33 computers, 14 tablets and 20 smart phones. This has benefited 67 families. Furthermore, we are finalizing negociations with an internet provider to bring internet connection to 25 families of the foundation that have none.

All of this has allowed us to give continuity to the activities of the foundation by stages, such as gatherings with children and academic support, devotionals (times of reading and learning the Bible), where we recover vision and hope, gatherings with parents and support against child sexual abuse. As for our “Music for Peace” program, Yamaha has already delivered to us the material for the virtual implementation of the program. However, it is equally necessary first to insure that 100% of children of the foundation are equipped with computer and internet connection. We have already made great strides in this effort, but the campaign towards this goal continues.

For this second semester, we are planning how to press forth with a more intentional support, since neither schools nor the foundation will be able to reopen for the remaining of this year, as per directives of the National Government of Colombia.

It is time to reinvent ourselves, and we believe that with the support of each person that climbs on board, we can attain a more brilliant future, open, with opportunity and happy, one child at a time.

In these ways, the foundation and its allies continue contributing their grain of sand for peace.
