Adaptation of the music room by the church

Music school

Thank you so much for supporting us in making our dream of providing children and young people with the opportunity to attend a music school and learn to play an instrument a reality. As a partner church, we have made progress. Although there have been delays, we are just a few weeks away from seeing this school become a reality: 1. A married couple who teach sacred music and are SETECA graduates are in charge of the planning. They recently became parents for the second time, and we await their recovery so they can get involved. 2. A specific room is being adapted for the school, with a storage room for instruments. 3. The existing guitars have been evaluated. 4. The purchase and use of the donated funds has already been completed. Thank you very much! We have acquired electronic keyboards and complementary equipment. 4. We hope to send a final update during June, with photos of the children and young people already taking classes.
