Hundreds waited patiently for hours today for a chance to see a doctor, get some needed meds, learn about healthy diets or snag a new outfit. Thanks to those whose donations make this happen. https://t.co/QkpmFJ53ur

Members of the foundation presented brand-new musical instruments to a rural school in #ElSalvador this past Friday. The kids also performed and parents related how the gift of music has changed their children's lives. #musicaesvida #musicislife #MusicIsLoveWithVibes

[The Castañeda Kids Foundation @TCKFoundation]

These children have gone from not knowing anything about music to confident and poised musicians in less than one year!

All they want is a chance to play. Your donations funded a girls soccer team in a Salvadoran village where only boys played. Recently, they took second place in a local tournament!
