Recently, I was having a conversation with my sixteen-year-old daughter Bard about life. Specifically, we were discussing memories. She told me that she doesn't really break life down into good days, but great moments, and she proceeded to list the greatest moments of her life.Many of them involved her experiences over the course of ten years with her choral ensemble.
She reminded me of the time she sang in Italy, how a group of monks at St. Peter's in Rome had cried as her choir sang. She claims that it was one of the most beautiful things she's ever experienced.
She talked about singing in China, and the impression that her tour guide made on her, how she enjoyed interacting with the Chinese people, and how tired she was after climbing the Great Wall.
Next summer, she has the opportunity to sing in Germany, Austria and Prague. This summer, she worked very hard to earn money for her trip, spending very little on herself and giving to her family when we were in need.
In order to get there, she needs some sponsors who are interested in contributing to the music education of a very special young lady. On our own, we can't afford to send her. With your help, she can add more beautiful moments to her life and those of others' through the international language of music.
If you're interested in donating, please see the button in the sidebar on the right, the one that says, "Send Bard to Germany."
In exchange for your donation, Bard will send you a travel report upon her return, and I will thank God for you.
