This
foundation for development, culture and art fUNDECUA is a NGO , a nonprofit
organization that sees culture, art and music in particular as strong tools
of social inclusion for vulnerable social groups.
Access to culture is a fundamental need and it defines a person’s identity.
In the same way food feeds the body, arts feed the soul; it fills our
loneliness and provide new ways of expression, communication and in many
cases they offer job opportunities that improve the way of life of those who
have access to different forms of art.
A society deeply develops by defending and promoting its culture and making
it easier for everybody to have access to it.
Music generates feelings, entertainment, it dignifies mankind and elevates
its values. Allows performers to be generous with their music touching and
improving life of their listeners. It stimulates creativity and generates
happy moments for all who feel touched by it.
