“As founder and director of nonprofit organization, Oboe Mobile Foundation, I relate to the desire to serve the community where one comes from. I can also relate to the challenges of starting something that matters, something to serve the underserved, to make a difference in the lives of those we touch. This is the reason why, when I was contacted by Euridice, Francisco and Eder to ask about how to establish an organization to serve their community, I said yes! I helped them with my knowledge on how to establish a nonprofit back then. Now, they have different needs. They need financial support to continue this mission of love."

”This is the reason why I said yes, once again! The beautiful smiles of the children we serve at Oboe Mobile Foundation, keeps us going. I know that this will be the case with the assistance that I have given Honduras Oboe Project Education. I extend an invitation to everyone reading this message to reach out and help HOPE. Support this organization. Support these children. Support these amazing human beings who decided to make time and use their talent and position to serve their community, to give back to the community that gave them so much. It is an extremely challenging task. Please send them your donation! Every dollar counts! For some children, the oboe is their voice. Give these children HOPE, support their voice! Thank you”.

“Having had the privilege of teaching and working with several foreign students at Baylor University, I became aware of the wonderful musicians/people in particular from South and Central America, and the needs and difficulties that many of them face to be able to study music. Honduras Oboe Project Education provides the opportunity to help the students of Honduras, the home of my former student and successor at Baylor, Euridice Alvarez. My mentor/friend, the late Nancy Fowler, was also eager to help by donating music, cane tools, and other needed equipment. I look forward to seeing the results of this amazing project.”

"As an oboist in graduate school, I remember the excitement and difficulty of beginning the reed making journey. Having the right tools and materials is an essential part of advancing as a young oboist, and something no other instrument has to face at this level of detail. I am so glad to see the students at HOPE getting into this lifelong learning process with such vigor and excitement! Happy reed making everyone!”

"One of the greatest hurdles we have to clear as oboists is the unforgiving nature of our equipment. When Eder told me about HOPE, I reached out to the oboists in my community, and we were all able to contribute tools and supplies that will get the students off to an easier start on their reed making journey. I cannot wait to hear what they will be able to do with it! Happy reading!”
