These are some pics of the presentation of cheques of $4500 to the Academia Internacional and the Escuela Buen Pastor in Boquete. The donation was made possible by the great success of the 2013 Boquete Jazz & Blues Festival and their Music for Schools program. We're thanking everybody who contributed to this success: Sponsors, the festival audience and our great group of volunteers who made all this possible!
The schools' responses:
More Music Matters…
Colegio Bilingüe El Buen Pastor & Big Daddy's Grill, Boquete, send out an enormous Thank You to Hans Lebuser, to the Board & to all the Volunteers of the Boquete Jazz & Blues Festival Foundation for the gift of $2,750 for the purchase of instruments for El Buen Pastor school's music band.
This gift is beyond anything the school ever imagined and extends to the entire community via music education and the school's involvement in bringing classical music concerts to Boquete. Thank You Hans and all the board and volunteers at JAZZ & BLUES FEST
Did you know?
The Jazz & Blues folks also donated 50 Brand New Hohner Harmonicas to Boquete’s community children and, during the event, offered the kids a class by two delighted professional musicians.
Having a real music band at El Buen Pastor brings music education and classical music to the entire community via the parades and also through the Woodwind and String Concerts, (which were coordinated by Profesor Eduin and sponsored heavily by the school and many others, including local restaurants, retailers and through fairly priced ticket sales.)
The Jazz Folk's generous gift was then piggy-backed with a mini-grant from Bid4Boquete, mentioned in a separate posting.
How's that for hopping on the Love Train?
This thanks is sent with heartfelt gratitude from, Profesora Abdialy de Alvarado, Directota; Profesor Eduin Montenegro; Licenciada Nerchet Santamarìa - Administradora; The Slagle Family, big and small, at Big Daddy’s Grill.
Did you know?
Many are unaware that private schools are known to offer a good portion of scholarships – at times some have had close to 50% of students on full or parcial scholarship! Many of these are shouldered by the schools themselves, in addition to having private sponsors. Despite the “private” status, these schools are not chock full of the privileged, but rather full of committed parents who sometimes struggle to pay the monthly tuition in order to provide a “step up” for their children. Two schools now have musical bands that have been enhanced by donations from the Boquete Jazz & Blues Fest. Big Daddy's Grill believes music matters, and we, and the schools, are overjoyed.
