Aloha!
My name is Rachael Lynde, and I am a music teacher in Ventura County. Two years ago I had the opportunity to move here from Arizona –– and I lept at it! I could not have imagined that I would be doing what I get to for a living. On a weekly basis, I work with hundreds of people to share the joy of this amazing little instrument called the ukulele. I am a teacher, mentor and friend to many in this community. I am filled with gratitude that I get to this! It is insane!
A couple of months ago, I began having this desire to share the joy of this instrument with kids in communities that might not have the resources to hire a private instructor. After a bit of research and networking, I have made some great connections and everything has began to come together. Our team is parterning with a non-profit in Ensenada, Mexico called, H.E.L.P. (Hope Endures by Loving People). I have worked with the gentleman who runs H.E.L.P. before, and I am eager to work with him again!
Over the last month, I have been working to build a team of people who will join me on this expedition. Our team is continuing to grow (and we still have spots open if you are interested)! July 23-28, we will be working with a group of children in the Zorillo area. We are going to lay a musical foundation as well as provide ukuleles to continue their musical explorations after we leave.
This is where you come in!
We need to purchase 15 ukulele kits (including the ukulele, tuner, and gigbag). I have found someone willing to sell us these kits for $60.00 USD per unit. In order to purchase all fifteen of these, we need to raise $1100.00 USD (for fifteen kits and estimated tax, and fundraising fees).
I am humbly asking for your help! Would you consider sharing the ukulele love by donating either:
- $20 toward a kit
- $65 for a full kit (after tax)
- or anything you are able to give!
If you would consider partnering with this cause, I would be so grateful!
Thank you for reading through! This is the first time I have ever attempted such a bold and adventurous endeavor, and I could not be any more excited about the way that things are continuing to unfold. I am just a normal person trying to share the love with the tools that I have. You can do it to!
Peace and Love,
Rachael Lynde
