Purpose:
Our hope, in uniting our visions and our passions, is to create an event to raise money for our organizations and
their respective projects in an effort to help the women and children of Peru and Nicaragua. We are committed to
raising awareness, spreading the richness of the Latin America cultures and sharing the beauty of the people that we
have encountered. Through the arts and education the goal is to teach the marginalized children of Nicaragua and
Peru to see themselves not as victims in need of charity, but as young people with a voice, a path and a choice to
make a difference in their own lives.
