We'll e-mail a full-color certificate to you or the gift recipient stating,
"A musical instrument has been purchased in your name to an autonomous, indigenous Mayan school in Chiapas, Mexico. Schools for Chiapas and the Mayan communities of Chiapas, Mexico thank you for your contribution reviving cultural tradition and helping children find their voices." In addition, a beautiful “Thank You” card will be mailed to you or to every person you honor with this meaningful gift.
