The Sound of Opportunity
Did you know that in Honduras, our young oboists face unique challenges in mastering an instrument seldom heard in our musical landscape? Our non-profit, HOPE, aims to provide two professional oboes to the Honduras Oboe School, supporting the advanced studies of our first students, Israel and Fiorella.
Despite starting on limited student oboes and facing numerous challenges, they have grown remarkably and are now preparing for graduation. These professional oboes will not only enhance their education but also prepare them for international competition and scholarship opportunities. Support our mission to cultivate Honduras’s musical heritage by donating to the Honduras Oboe Project.

More ways to contribute to HOPE
Oboe donations
It is very important to us that each student has his or her own oboe. Our students will learn more effectively if they have a good instrument.
Donation of materials to make reeds
The reed is the primary part of producing sound on the oboe. Our students use material to make reeds constantly. The material the reeds are made of is a living organism, a type of bamboo grass that degrades with use.
Music stands donation
Music stands for reading and playing music are essential.
Electronic keyboard donation
It is important for each student to be able to practice piano constantly.
Why donate to HOPE?
To help musically talented young people to study an unconventional instrument such as the Oboe.
Promote the musical talent of young Hondurans inside and outside Honduras.
After an extensive 4-5 years program, HOPE would award the student a diploma in music studies with UCENM certification.
