2008 Calendar

Just as we did last year, we have made a calendar for the year 2008 to sell in order to fund our program Rhythm in the Barrios.

Last year’s calendars were a huge success; we sold more than 600 of them and made almost 4500 euros (see the entry “2007 Calendar” in the September 2007 archive). Now, we are counting once more on everybody’s help so that we can continue our work on the project.

Proceeds from the calendar sale will go towards buying instruments and other materials we need for the music classes, and towards the salaries of local teachers who work with us.

This 17 x 24 cm wall calendar was designed by our volunteer Marc Virgili. He and Sydney Fox, another volunteer, took all of the photos featured in the calendar. The result is excellent! You can see some of the photos in the video at the top right of the blog.

When you buy the calendar for just 8 Euros or 10 dollars, you help fund year-round music classes for 400 children and help creaate jobs for music professors in Nicaragua. It is definitely worth it.

Anyone who is interested, please send me an email at raulplanas@hotmail.com. We ship calendars all over the world!

We would love to hear from you. Thanks so much!
