Maestro Herminio Gimenez founded a music school to provide op- portunities for children in Paraguay to fight against the economic struggles that they face everyday. The music that these students are creating help them engage in their culture. The students often have concerts and festivals at which they perform. Having music to rely on is crucial to these children for them to grow and become inde- pendent. Donations will help more students gain an opportunity to learn and create beautiful music much like what their peers are doing.




What can you do to help? It will cost only $2,000 U.S. Dollars to build a brand new mu- sic classroom in Paraguay. The number of students greatly ex- ceed the amount of space currently in the music school. Monetary donations in any form are beneficial because we will use the funds to buy new instruments , music books and hire more music teachers. Please make your tax deductible donations payable to: Paraguay Hecho a Mano USA, Inc. P.O. Box 94 Brookfield, WI 53008-0094 Or donate online at www.paraguayhechoamano.org Inc.
