We could not make this program run without the help of many people who support what we do.  From the church who allows us to use their facilities, to those who donate instruments, or who donate  tuition for students who could not afford to be part of SPS, sponsors help make this happen. If you would like to help, you can send a donation to our address below.  And thank you so much for your help.
