Dear Friends, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Please contribute monthly to the &quot;More Art = Less Violence&quot; &nbsp;instrumental music, dance, guitar and volleyball program for youth at risk, ages 12-17. &nbsp;Now more than ever we need to curtail violence in the neighborhoods at our border. This program is focused on junior high schoolers who are the most vulnerable, yet receive the least attention of any age group. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Recently we visited the local &quot;secundarias&quot;/junior high schools to promote the Saturday program of instrumental music, dance, guitar and volleyball. &nbsp;I was very concerned by the lack of staffing, maybe four teachers attending 500 students and starkness of the facilities, not to mention the police activity right outside the entry doors. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;We have 130 teens in ten classes, beginner and intermediate strings, beginner and intermediate woodwinds, orchestra horns, ballet folclorico, jazz dance, volleyball and beginner and intermediate guitar. &nbsp; We are showing that &quot;Si, se puede&quot;, yes, we can help the most forgotten segment of society and make our future better.. &nbsp; Please visit the Mas Arte = Menos Violencia Facebook page <a fr-original-style="color:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit;" href="https://www.facebook.com/masartemenosviolenciatijuana/" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: inherit; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;">https://www.facebook.com/masartemenosviolenciatijuana/</a> to learn more about the program and see photos. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Please consider making a monthly or one time donation! &nbsp;It can be very small, $22.50 or larger $500 &nbsp;per month or yearly. &nbsp; All donations go directly to the program! &nbsp;Remember to reduce the amount asked to support the Zeffy platform to &quot;Zero&quot;.
