Feria de Flores concert

Hello Dearest Donors,

Long time, no see! Don´t worry, we're back with a bunch of great news!

Every year, as you may know, Medellin holds an event full of colors, music and FLOWERS! It is called "Feria de Flores", commemorating the cultural richness of our region. Fundación Sirenaica participated in various events. Two concerts given by our kids from "Youth Singers".

1. A total of 50 children from our program held a concert right on a street, organized by the city mayor

2. 80 of our children offered a concert in colombian music at the Pablo Tobón Uribe theatre.

Both of the events showed an important improvement: some of our kids were able to sing some solos, which undoubtedly reinforced their talent and self-esteem. It was beautiful and breath-taking. These events were fully organized and directed by our young monitors which gain expertise everyday.

Our monitors keep training: one hour per week of choral direction, rythms, repertoire and concert set up.

Our progam is now benefitting 9 institutions, 250 children directly, and 2 new institutiones assigned to 9 of our young monitors in alliance with Municipio de Medellin, from which a total of 650 students are being taught.

We invite you to share our webpage and the pictures attached. New videos were posted and it is all very outstanding!

Once again thank you for your donations, your interest. All of the above was possible with YOUR HELP!

Happy Halloween!!!!
