Feed Villages Event "Play for Change"!


	thank you to those that showed up and participated in the first play for change event! As a global community, we support promote positive change for the world! We made $700 dollars plus online donations for Feed Villages! go to feedvillages. com This brings the total up to over $4,000! $96,000 more to go! it's possible. I still have the rest of my life to raise it. Mapenzi Marimba played from 9-2 am and had so much fun playing for such a good cause! Everyone was dancing and it was a FUN last performance......who knows when we'll play next.....as members are leaving the island....it's hard to have a marimba band without all the players. I also recycled yesterday all that I've saved up in the last month and the total came out to $75 dollars. I have 1 more trip to the recycling center before I leave and hopefully I can beat my last months high at $117. These are the updates..... PeAcE elana

Speech!

So, Saturday night, I said my first speech about Feed Villages in front of many people when I performed marimba on Maui in Haiku! And even though I was incredibly nervous, I think I did pretty good for my first time! I ended up raising $300 dollars in one night so I am pretty proud of that....we are now at the $3,000 dollar mark! Hooray!!!
