In the spirit of transparency, we like to share a message from Vladimir de Souza, who is leading this synthesizer donation project in South America.
For the past year, Vladimir has been helping us identify and engage with almost 100 charities all over Latin America, specifically located in remote areas. Why remote areas?
While we could have gone the easy way to just ship 1,000 synths to a popular Western charity organization, our purpose is different. We wanted to donate these instruments to small charity organizations that engage in musical education for under-privileged children and which are located so remotely and unknown that they usually never receive any free equipment.
Admittedly, we have underestimated the task and it has taken much longer than we thought, as Corona has shut down most institutions. After almost a year, we've now completed the list and we're getting ready to start shipping those instruments, however it will still take several more months until these synths will arrive at the many destinations due to logistical challenges. However, we will keep you posted so you can witness that every synth will be accounted for.
If you like to help us with this project or recommend other such organizations, please directly contact Vladimir or me. Much appreciated. Paul
