Barrios Orquestados has opened a crowdfunding to raise funds and be able to continue with the project that brings music through 14 orchestras and 8 choirs in Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Currently, they are going through a financial crisis that complicates the realization of the activities.
"The boys, girls and their families learn, not only to play an instrument, but to listen, to live together, to believe in new life perspectives. The results are surprising," declares José Brito, founder of Barrios Orquestados.
"Despite our tireless effort to raise funds, find collaborators, organize benefit concerts, etc., the economic balance of an independent and inter-island NGO is fragile. If we do not achieve urgent support, the project that has transformed and transforms the lives of thousands of boys and girls, and their families, could disappear," he assures.
For this reason, they ask that, whoever wishes, make a donation to collaborate with the continuity of the project. "Each donation is an instrument in a home that changes a life, a stage where a boy or a girl discovers their potential, a community that is strengthened through music," he concludes.
