As many of you know, I graduate in May. Only a few weeks left. Upon graduation, I am planning on dedicating the next year to spending time in Santiago and working in Cuesta Arena to finish the school. We would love to have the school open by the end of summer, but ideally probably the end of 2012. We only need a few pieces left before we can focus on the opening of the school. Sairy has talked with our contractor and given me the following estimates. I would love for churches to partner with us and adopt a piece of the school and help fundraise.
I had two Dominican brothers from the church ask about instruments. They are both interested in learning how to play them and were wondering if anyone had one that could be donated. If you have a guitar or saxophone sitting in your closet or maybe see one at a garage sale and are willing to donate it please let me know. I will be traveling back this summer and can take it with me.
