Description
Please join us for an evening of music from three beloved Asheville artists — David Wilcox, Kat Williams, and David LaMotte. You can also pick up some beautiful hand-made Guatemalan crafts, and enjoy complementary Guatemalan finger foods. Proceeds from the night will benefit Senderos, a nonprofit organization founded by David LaMotte and his wife in 2004.
About Senderos
Senderos has supported education, arts, and mentoring projects in Guatemala for over two decades. Their three main programs include a primary school in the Maya village of Tzanchaj, a music education program in El Tejar (cooperatively funded with LEAF Global Arts), and Brillaguate, a scholarship, mentoring, and tutoring program for disadvantaged teens, also in El Tejar. All three of the programs are flourishing and growing, and Senderos is growing alongside them.
Senderos is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and is 100% donor-funded.
