Dear Supporters,
Thank you for your continued support and belief in our mission to bring a grand piano to the Vecumnieki Music and Art School. Your generosity continues to be the heart of this project, and we are grateful for every donation, kind word, and show of encouragement.
Since our last update, the journey has been slower than we hoped. Through this platform, our total has now reached €259, and overall we have gathered close to €5,000. While this is still far from the total needed to purchase the piano, every euro brings us one step closer.
We’ll be honest - raising funds has become more challenging, and at times it feels like the project has faded from the spotlight. And yet, we remain just as committed, because we believe in the transformative power of music and the importance of giving children access to quality instruments and education.
Meanwhile, the talented students of Vecumnieki Music and Art School are making us proud on a national stage. This very week, they are participating in the Latvian Nationwide Song and Dance Festival for School Students - an unforgettable and prestigious event. The school is impressively represented by both its orchestra and choir, a true reflection of the excellence, dedication, and potential of these young musicians. For a rural school, this is an outstanding achievement.
Even in quiet times, your support keeps the dream alive. We continue working behind the scenes and exploring new ways to build momentum. If you feel inspired, please consider sharing our project or reminding a friend about it - every voice matters.
Thank you for standing with us. The first notes of our future grand piano are waiting, and together, we’re getting closer.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Lumanu gimenes fonds
