Pledge to make a difference, together.
Our mission is to keep the children away from the dangers of the streets.
La Banda de Musica helps underprivileged populations in a marginalised neighbourhood of Zaachila Oaxaca, south of Mexico, mainly by providing children with access to cultural activities and in particular to musical education. The goal is to help promote an original form of education, which includes social advancement, strengthening of ties , and a reduction of violence.
To achieve this goal, we organize gifts of musical instruments. We raise funds to continue building the music school and pay the salaries of the local music teachers. We dispatch expert musicians or luthiers on site to teach and inspire students.. This exchange of skills will offer projects of lasting autonomy.
The association is helping set up repair workshops for musical instruments, and needs tools to assist in the training of young people who can study music and repair their instruments as well. We also offer scholarships to young musicians who demonstrate an ability to study and wish to continue learning music at a university level.
A symphony orchestra has been created and is the pride of the neighbourhood THE SANTA CECILIA ORCHESTRA. For the group of children involved, music means cohesion, education and hope.
