In six years, we have transformed the attitude of families, from apathy to empowerment. They indicate an improvement in their self-concept and life possibilities. This has generated improvements in personal and family goals. Evidence has shown that education, musical knowledge and the development of environmental awareness make responsible, hard-working and mentally healthy adults who contribute to their community and the environment, thus overcoming their poverty.
