Project Report | Jul 2, 2025
Music fills children and young people with joy

By Edwin Ruiz | Project Leader

Sonidos Para La Vida is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a close experience of music by the children and youth of Guatemala. To achieve this, we use all the resources at our disposal, as long as each child obtains that experience that brings them closer to the joy of music in their lives, but fundamentally that brings them closer to the great advantages that music brings to their physical, emotional and structural development.

We recently had the great pleasure of receiving a person who, completely voluntarily, wanted to work with our young musicians.

Paola, a citizen of the United States, wanted to dedicate part of her valuable time to give our children a "workshop" of "Expression through MOVEMENT", this teaching them to use their body to coordinate rhythm and movements on a stage.

Our children had a wonderful experience and were able to express many emotions through movement, with which they found one more way to feel the rhythm and, in this way, have one more tool to take the performance of their instrument to another level.

The generosity of the workshop leader Paola is an example of how all help is extremely important for the community of Sonidos Para La Vida, because all help adds up to achieve that fundamental objective of TRANSFORMING THE LIVES of many Guatemalan children and young people.

Every time you make a contribution to our organization, you are helping to change a life and giving better opportunities so that many children and young people are free from the dangers of social networks, the darkness of loneliness and all those risks, silences against which you can only fight by giving positive purposes to your life.

We deeply appreciate your valuable contribution and we trust that you will continue to help us so that Sonidos Para La Vida continues to work and that many more children can find the joy of music for their lives.
