Would you or someone you know be interested in hosting 4 Honduran musicians from Wed., 9/12 through Sat. 9/16? These musicians will be here to share their music and stories of their fight for social justice in Honduras. Beds or air mattresses will work. Close to Augsburg is a plus. They will have transportation and food needs covered throughout the Nobel Peace Prize Forum.
If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Kate Reinhardt at reinhard@augsburg.edu or Sarah Degnar Riveros at riveross@augsburg.edu
