Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We kindly request your assistance in acquiring a set of musical recorders suitable for children aged 5 to 10. These instruments will play a crucial role in our music lessons, enabling us to provide interactive and engaging music lessons to our young participants.

We envision these recorders not only as tools for learning but also as sources of inspiration, helping children discover the wonders of music and develop their musical talents.

Your support in providing these instruments will have a lasting impact on our community's youth, fostering their creativity and nurturing their love for music.
