Thirty children and teenagers sign up for the music classes that the CSP has started in the Pesebre neighborhood of Bogotá
The Community Development Center "Casa Garavito", which we inaugurated last April in El Pesebre neighborhood of Bogotá, is already working at a good pace. The last initiative that we started in the center's facilities (besides the sewing courses for women, training classes for the elderly, library, meetings of a youth group and a weekly Bible workshop) has been a guitar course for children and young people from the area.
We announced this new activity in the neighborhood and in a few days thirty children and teenagers were enrolled. We divided them into two groups, and the classes have been going very smoothly every Saturday since mid-June. For now, the future guitarists are enthusiastic about what they are learning, and Manuel, the instructor, assures us that the students are joyful and talented.
There is no doubt that music is very attractive to many people, perhaps especially among to the youth. In that sense, we are very happy to offer a service like this in a neighborhood where the opportunities to learn how to play an instrument are very scarce.
