Help Us Choose a Guatemala Theme Song

This is my fourth post in the seven-day quest to raise $2200 for not just 7 roofs, but 14 roofs, one for each of the 14 Guatemalan families!. In these seven days, I will also be answering your questions and sharing insights gained. This post hopes to add some *fun* to the effort. So far, we’ve raised $1590–enough for one of the roofs, with $610 still needed. Please donate and spread the word.

I don’t know about you–but music is uplifting, soothing and moving. On our travels and while working, we’re going to be singing and celebrating the work being done. What do you think should be our theme song? [Videos Below]
