Fundraiser – Open Mic Night in Long Island!

Come join us at Toast Coffeehouse for a night of music, art, poetry, and great food to raise money for the Farmer Solidarity Project!

The Farmer Solidarity Project is a New Jersey non-profit that runs service trips to Guatemala. Participants travel to Alta Verapaz, a mountainous region in Guatemala, and live with indigenous farmers for one week. While there, we do the following projects:

– Build ventilated stoves;
– Plant trees and vegetables;
– Create photo and video documentaries;
– Set up computers; and
– Work with a local NGO to evaluate needs, support local efforts and develop solution strategies.

Please help us reach our goal of providing one stove for each family in the communities we visit in Alta Verapaz.

Tickets are $15 (adults only). There will be food, drinks, art and crafts for sale at the event.

The event will feature:

ORIGINAL ARTWORK by: Katie Reidy and Cesar Cristancho.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCES by: Jason Yellen, Camilo Malagon, and Memo Jaramillo

STORYTELLING by: Camilo Salazar

It will be open-mic, so feel free to come up and share your music, poetry, thoughts, hidden talents.
