What inspired us to do it?
What inspired us to do it?
Sahcabá is a small village within an underdeveloped region in the south of the country.
Children in this small village don't have access to teachers or educational programs to help them learn English or Arts.
One of our margi brothers in the area contacted us with a respected teacher and ex-mayor from the community who has a deep desire to bring new opportunities for the people of the village.
In June 2024, four volunteers, including Dada Viitashokananda and Didi Ananda Shanta made a first visit to the town of Sahcabá.
One week later, Dada and two margi volunteers did a kiirtana presentation in three schools of the community, including a kindergarden, a primary school, and a secondary school. After the presentation, the children expressed their interest and enthusiasm about learning music and English.
