How does music help kids?
Improves Coordination
Playing an instrument requires the brain to work at advanced speeds. Reading music is converted in the brain to the physical motion of playing the instrument. Those who play instruments have improved hand eye coordination over those who do not.
Improves Math Skills
Playing an instrument may seem like a creative act, but there are many parallels to math. Music and math are highly intertwined. By understanding beat, rhythm and scales, children are learning how to divide, create fractions and recognize patterns.
Improves Reading and Comprehension Skills
Learning and playing music requires constant reading and understanding. Children and teens need to identify a note on the page and recognize which note (pitch) to play on their instrument, how long to hold it, what finger to use and how loudly to play it. They also need to identify if the note should be played short and crisp, or smooth and connected to the next note. Learning to read and comprehend music can even help in reading and understanding literature in school classes.
Creates Responsibility
Most instruments require some kind of maintenance. This can be anything from oiling to tuning to cleaning. Encouraging children to stay on top of regular instrument maintenance creates a level of responsibility for them. When they are responsible for something they are more likely to take care of it themselves without an adult having to remind them.
About Us
Michael
Michael was found living alone at a very young age of 12. Michael worked different jobs so he can feed himself and rent a room to sleep in. He is now in school and is #1 in his entire class. He is very studious and says “one day I will have my own business.” He is a very happy boy!
Camilo
Camilo is 16 year old and lives in the Senderos De Amor orphanage. He will soon age out. Most of these children have no where to go or no one to turn to once they age out. He is a very determined teen. “Some day I want to help the poor children” he says. He’s kind hearted with some health issues that won’t hold him back.
Carlitos
Carlitos was left to his grandmother to raise. After she no longer could, Carlitos was given up to the orphanage. He is very funny, loves to laugh! He likes to be busy. He plays the cymbals and loves coming to rehearsal. It’s what he looks forward to every weekend.

About Us
Prostitution
An even bigger problem is the growing number of children who experience sexual exploitation. In the streets of Tegucigalpa, the country's capital, and in the city of Comayagüela, about 2,400 children are forced into prostitution. Although girls are especially at risk, the number of boys who experience sexual exploitation is on the rise.
80% do not have access to...
Bad infrastructure is especially manifest in rural areas. Around 80 per cent of all Hondurans living in such areas do not have access to clean water and sanitation.
Illiteracy
one in six Hondurans over the age of 15 cannot read and write.
