[Music]
at three thirty in the afternoon and he played
the orchestra class for the children of
fourth and fifth grade
it was one of those days when in san
pedro sula fell a tremendous storm
that flooded the streets of the colony
satelite
but neither the rain nor the streets
flooded prevented children
go to your music class
There were so many desire of those guys from
go to your class that did not matter if it
they had to get wet to get to their
school is the kind of passion that
we must have us
love something so much that it does not matter
obstacles that we face
Many times children are the best
example of that whenever I’m in a
social meeting or meeting new people
and they ask me what I do and I
I say that I am
[Music]
and I tell them that I am a musician there has not been
a single person who has not told me
there I always wanted to play the guitar
the piano piano the saxophone up
the ukulele have told me or that
person who says I played the flute
sweet when I was at school or in
the school but not the happy birthday
I remember now I’m just going to ask
you raise your hand how many of
you can play an instrument
musical
now raise your hand how many
you wanted to have been able to learn
or they want to learn to play a
musical instrument
although many of the people have
that frustrated musician inside them
they wanted to have been able to develop that
ability to play an instrument
musical but they did not have the opportunity
or they did not have the time that’s why
I want to give you that opportunity
those boys and girls who in their life
they imagined that they would be able to run
a musical instrument those that
they have few possibilities
those who often have little
that eat those that dawns not
sleep with denies those of little
resources but with great wishes of
learn in July 2015
after studying my career
musical in the united states thanks to
scholarships
I made the decision to return to my
country and to share this
musical knowledge with those who
more you need them
through a social project project
I work two of the biggest problems
what our country has or poverty and
the violence
the director of the observatory
violence of the victory unah and these
mentioned that young people under 30
years are the main risk factor
in our country since the death of
these are 51 percent in the
last six years
He also mentioned that children are
dying in our country due to the
poverty since they join maras
gangs and organized crime
51 percent is a percentage too
high do not you think it’s a little more
beyond the half
Think about that person
that mother in that family father
who receives a call or a visit from a
unexpected police to tell him that
that child or that teenager who could
have completed their bachelor or initiate
a university career has passed away
victim of violence
it hurts to think that our country is the
youth the one that is losing
that is why the project we will see use
loves music as a tool for
prevention of violence
we want to promote the culture of peace
being able to develop musically
being able to develop musically
socio- affective attitudes that can
unite harmony with peace can
eradicate those patterns of violence
that exist in these colonies that are
so vulnerable
if we have more teenage children and
young people investing their free time
a positive way studying any
art type can be music the
dance or some sport
they really would be focused on
be developing this kind of art
they would not be being influenced
negatively to be joining
a gang a gang and added it
operated to be victims of their own
environment
remember that many of these families
they really did not ask to be living in
a negative environment is simply that
they have no other
use music as a tool
has given a lot of results to
world level one of the largest
forerunners of this movement
the teacher josé antonio abreu founder
of the orchestra system in venezuela
once said
the music must be used as a
agent of social development since this
drives the highest value is the
harmony solidarity compassion
mutual, how much could we reduce
us the percentage of homicide
if we use this type of programs in
these colonies
if we could say we want to make a
exchange of firearms by
musical instruments
this is the initiative that has project
tourism we want to create better beings
humans through surf music emo
it’s an unfamiliar word that
comes from the Garífuna language and
means song music or melody
our motto changing lives a note the
is based on making an impact on
our society is little by little but
that does leave a trace that is
unable to be erased
when we talk about the
social fabric is what unites us
as a community what makes us be
we a nation
that scream that we hit everything when we
we realized that the selection and goes
again to a world
what he tells us makes us say that
the ally is the best dish in the world
I think naturally when you listen
the rhythm of the tip to the sound of the drum
we started to move our hips
that’s why the purpose of our
project is to create a heritage
musical cultural that can
represent as a nation in a way
authentic we want to be able to teach
children all kinds of musical genre
classical music that we
we do not have that culture of understanding
because maybe they did not teach him before
many of the people say ‘there is
boring I think it’s not boring is
simply that we do not know it the
popular music
what you hear on the radio that
salsa that merengue reggae cumbia tango
bolero there is so much music that is
You can teach to give all these
elements to these guys and tell you I took
do what you want to be able to do
motivate them and raise their self-esteem to
think that they can become
something great to awaken that passion
for our folklore remember what
Honduras and our patriotism is only
In September
demonstrating that Honduras has
identity and talent to one year of
functioning
we have managed to consolidate as a
NGO
We also started with a project
pilot in the education center
basic first of February in one of the
more difficult colonies in our
city in the satellite colony
there are 42 beneficiary children
of the program between the ages of 6 to 12
years
it is important to make him see the reason
social that the project has
we do not measure the results by
the economic benefits but for the
growth and development of being
human
swear we came to see a grow
generation for us
educating a child is not only teaching him
something that he does not know if not turn it into
someone who did not exist the music that
inspires strengthens transforms to be
human
I could see how these guys are
have been able to develop all this
kind of skills also the
development of his leadership and his work
team up
I have seen proud parents of their children
that at first I did not even know
that was an orchestra or the benefits
that brings the music to me that power
I can tell you that you have learned that
it does not take much to help
our society that we just need
think that we can really generate a
impact
I have learned to give more time to
have more patience to smile more and
give a lot more love is why
I have nothing left to tell you
I invest my time in the best way
teaching music to those
what will be
the future of our land very many
Thank you
[Applause]
