ART & MUSIC <\/span> in The Community<\/h2>\n

We provide an alternative space to counteract violence, drugs and criminal groups by creating constructive leisure opportunities in low-income neighborhoods. We strive to allow children, youth and adults to express themselves through music and to take part in other activities that foster both their own personal development and the development of their community.<\/p>\n

OUR STORY <\/h4>\n

Opening up new horizons with music in Guasmo Sur<\/h2>\n

The first classes we organized were conducted with instruments made from recycled materials, such as plastic bottles and wood. Thanks to the perseverance and support of many generous people and organizations, today we can provide classes with more sophisticated musical instruments in improved facilities. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/i> <\/p>\n

They are always cheerful, creative and very dedicated to music. They try to involve parents and the community by giving free concerts, organising workshops and meetings. For me Clave de Sur became more than just a working space. It became a home, a meeting place for friends and family. I can definitly recommend this project!<\/p>\n

It was the best vacation of my life. I had a wonderful time, and the language was not a problem. I always felt free and safe to talk to them. A highly recommendable experience. If you have the opportunity to go there, meet people, and get to know the culture, I would say don\u2019t hesitate, go and enjoy your time in Guasmo Sur! <\/p>\n

<\/i> <\/p>\n

This community music project is completely governed by the young people themselves, which shows a real interest on the part of the organizers to care for the whole community through their projects. I highly recommend this organization to anyone interested in volunteering. You will learn a lot, not only about this amazing place, its people and culture, but also about yourself. You won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n
