AOTSR is outstanding. They brought a phenomenal program that served children and families of many different ages and learning styles. Their program was rich, thoughtful, and as educators, they were excellent to work with.
Mi familia esta agradecida con la Organización Yasmanth por su labor y apoyo a los niños de Guatemala. Por favor sigan adelante. Gracias.
La Organización Yasmanth ha trabajado en Guatemala haciendo una labor muy importante, que es ayudar a niños y niñas de escasos recursos, logrando mejorar el futuro de ellos. Gracias.
En la oportunidad que estuvieron en Guatemala, hicieron un gran trabajo apoyando a que los niños se expresaran con la música, fue maravilloso verlos. Gracias por todo.
Estas Organizaciones son de mucha ayuda para los países de escasos recursos. Felicitamos a la Organización Yasmanth por el apoyo que da y los animamos a seguir trabajando.

Awesome idea!!! Lovely dances. Things like this one are the ones than impel the world to be a better place keeping cultural heritage
La nueva ruta que emprendió esta organización es digna de todo el reconocimiento, pues están ofreciendo una novedosa y atractiva alternativa cultural, que permitirá a corto plazo seguir tejiendo con hilos firmes una nueva visión y manera de acercarnos a nuestros a centros , y valorar sus costumbres y tradiciones para que no queden en el olvido de un mundo que transita a velocidades supersónicas
Esta mirada de acercarnos a los orígenes de nuestro folklore tiene doble significado , toda vez que nace de dos jóvenes que llevan en sus interior esa llama de la solidaridad y la perseverancia en entregar sus dotes naturales al servicios de los demás. Enhorabuena se presentan estas iniciativas que requieren de todo nuestra apoyo. Animo que llegaran muy lejos
Aurora Over the Silk Road was an amazing performance. The performance took place during our Spring Break Camp 2014 here at Fort Hood. The children as well as the staff loved the performance. Anthony and Yasmine are wonderful people and I really enjoyed speaking to both of them. Yasmine and Anthony you did a great job! After the performance children were still talking about the silk worms, puppet show, and the dances performed by Yasmine. Thank you for taking the time to visit us here at Fort Hood.
I attended a performance in 2008 and I still remember it quite well. It was a memorable show and I remember my friends being impressed by the dancers for days. 5/5!
Una excelente iniciativa de los muchachos, los felicito por hacer la diferencia en este mundo. Sigan fomentando la unión a través de las artes (música y la danza), quitando muros y dan dando al mundo cosas positivas. Mis respetos hacia ustedes, sigan adelante con esta causa. Dios les bendiga el camino que eligieron.
Saludos,
Octavio.
Estuvo muy bonita la presentacion de las diferentes danzas, y fue algo especial que luego se hicieran talleres con los niños fue muy bonito poder compartir con ellos
This is one of the most informative organizations which assists children learn about countries, cultures. music, dances , and art which are unknown to them. An experience aimed to help children learn different cultures. Yasmanth is dedicated to provide children of all backgrounds an outlook on different cultures both inside and outside our community. This is an educationally oriented performance group and they provide all of the learning materials as well as the classes, lectures, and audience participation.
Their hope is to inspire and motivate everyone to be creative, to strive for excellence in learning and seek knowledge of other cultures. They have created an amazing vehicle to bridge the gap between far away lands and those close by. Yasmanth is spectacular and a definite must see!
Anthony y Yasmine son jovenes joviales y que buscan conocer otras culturas, expresándose dancisticamente como lo es el caso de Yasmine y instrumentalmente como es el caso de de Anthony, poniendo así mismo su talento a fin de beneficiar a quién lo necesite (niños ayudando niños).
Sigan adelante, se les quiere.

Como Gerente de la Fundación Nacional Batuta de Colombia puedo ofrecer dos historias de eventos que hicimos gracias al apoyo decidido y total de YASMANTH. La primera es la gran gira que realizaron los niñas y niñas vulnerables, de una agrupación musical de Batuta en Cartagena, quienes hicieron una gira de conciertos en Honduras. Fue la experiencia más maravillosa y transformadora que vivieron y aún hoy en día lo recuerdan con afecto. La segunda fue una acción de voluntariado y apoyo directo a familias vulnerables de Cartagena, que llegó en un contenedor desde Estados Unidos a Colombia, cargado de ropa, juguetes, útiles, zapatos, que brindaron alegría a varios cientos de niños y muchas familias en una zona muy deprimida, todo gracias a Yasmanth.
Actualmente como Gerente de Plan Int. para la región del Chocó en Colombia, zona de selva húmeda tropical estamos impulsando proyectos en artes, cultura, y esperamos cubrir otras áreas en el futuro próximo.
YASMANTH es sin duda una gran organización social, sin ánimo de lucro que trabaja por el arte y la cultura para los que más lo necesitan.
Pudo dar fe de la bonita labor que realiza Yasmanth con Ritmos de Cultura, y ninos ayudando a ninos, donde selecionan grupos de baile conformados por ninos de bajos recursos economicos, pero que tienen un gran talento y no solo los llevan de gira por Latinoamerica y USA, si no que les dan la oportunidad de hacer otro de sus suenos realidad, concer Disney!. Con estas giras buscan recaudar fondos para hacer donaciones a entidades que se dedican a la caridad y buscan patrocinio de entidades como Yasmanth para poder sacar sus proyectos adelante. Tambien cabe resaltar la calidad humana de los integrantes de esta organizacion y el maravilloso talento que comparte Yasmine y Anthony con estos grupos que hacen que todos brillen en el escenario y nadie quierea perderse de participar en estos eventos y hacer sus donaciones, porque realmente vale la pena!
I had the pleasure of working with Yasmanth on a magazine article about their work. I came away from the experience impressed with the tremendous energy, determination, and talent that Yasmine and Anthony have harnessed to reach out to improve the lives of others. This is a unique organization that is truly brightening lives!
I had the opportunity to volunteer with Yasmanth and it was an absolute pleasure! Anthony and Yasmine are both talented performers with a noble purpose. Their show is not only fun and engaging but rich with culture and history. I learned a lot while volunteering with them and encourage anyone who has an appreciation for world culture to get involved.
saludos, mi nombre es Camilo Quiroz y viví esta experiencia junto mi padre, este grupo, que mas que un grupo son una familia que hacer disfrutar a las personas con obras de talento y conocimiento, pues, cada actividad deja una enseñanza y a la vez es divertida. En el primer día experimente muchas cosas, tuve la oportunidad de conocer nuevos bailes de otros países, escuchar historias y aprendí sobre los gusanos de ceda, todo lo que pueden hacer y infinidad de cosas que ellos hacen para el bien de las personas.No solo hacen estas actividades con los niños, sino que también con los adultos, ya que, un día los acompañamos a un festival, donde hicieron bailar a las personas jóvenes y personas ya de la tercera edad, llenándolos de alegría y diversión, en conclusión esta familia ayuda y entretiene a la comunidad, con un excelente talento y con unas ganas que no se la imaginan, se les nota que lo hacen de corazón y su paga es una sonrisa por parte de las personas, muy buen proyecto y debería tener mas apoyo y reconocimiento, gracias por todo lo aprendido.

The group of talented young performers kept our youth entertained and gave them an opportunity to experience another culture. The crafts and activities were engaging and fun for all ages. The children really seemed to enjoy the interaction with Anthony and Yasmine as showed them some dance moves and drum techniques. Thank you for the enriching opportunity.

la verdad fue una experiencia maravillosa, gracias a la Fundación Yasmanth logré cumplir sueños que jamás pensé iban a pasar en mi vida, uno de ellos fue montar en avión y conocer en otro país una nueva cultura, a través de ese viaje aprendí mucho con la música, MUCHAS GRACIAS !!!
What a wonderful program! Far more unique than most of our other cultural offerings. This group has a clear and obvious passion for the area they are focusing on. The Silk Road is a unique topic that is typically not addressed, especially through the arts.
hola mi nombre es Paola Ortiz vivo en la ciudad de Cartagena Colombia.

mi nombre es víctor torres de la fundación yasmanth solo puedo solo puedo decir que cumplió un gran papel en mi vida el cual quedo marcado para siempre. esta organización cumplió el sueño de 30 niños en Colombia el cual fue de viajar a honduras a intercambiar culturas con niños de otros países la experiencia fue de gran valor para todo y marco nuestras vidas.
We are a non-profit that promotes and advocates for people with challenges. Yasmanth tailored their program to fit the needs of the population we serve. Since the vast population we serve is in the gray area, it is a priority to make sure that our programs cross cultural barriers. Yasmanth enhanced everyone's experience with their personal attentiveness.
The performance of Aurora Over the Silk Road was not only educational and informative but enjoyable. Even though they are young Yasmine and Anthony are professional in their work. They have taken this organization above and beyond. Their performance is like opening up a book and bringing it to life.
Yasmanth created an outatanding Program at our Youth Center on Scott AFB; engaging and thrilling all our children and staff with their culturally and visually-rich performances, crafts, and activities. The music and dance performances were exicuted with the utmost professionalism and excellence. The visual arts and cultural activities were unique and attention grabbing. This organization was an inspiration to children and staff alike. The professionals of Yasmanth should be very proud in how they are viewed as amazing artists of their craft. I would highly recommend Yasmanth to any organization who is seeking to provide a program that fully exhibits a broard range of cultural experiences.
The yasmanth came to Scott Air Force, Il and then put on a show for our kid in the before and after program. The show was colorful, awesome, educational,informative, the dancing portion with all the costume changes was amazing. Our children had a great time,participated in projects, and learned about nature. I hope to see you again.
When this organization came to our center, they set up centers and allowed the children to go from center to center. It was quite educational and well put together. Our children had hands on experiences and over all this was quite worthwhile.
The performance of aurora over the Silk Road was outstanding. The interpretation of each dance made you feel as though the story was coming to life. The wardrobe was spectacular.
The Aurora Over The Silk Roads workshop was educational and entertaining. It captured the audience in its entirety. Here at Scott Air Force Base Youth Center, children continuously join our program. Therefore, it would be my pleasure to welcome Yasmanth again, in the near future, to allow us to experience the fun cognitive activities and amazing performances.
Lenora,
Gracias a la Fundación Yasmanth muchos niños de un barrio humilde de la ciudad de Cartagena tuvimos un antes y después en nuestras vidas a través de la hermosa experiencia a la cual nos permitieron acceder. El intercambio cultural nos enseñó lo valioso que somos como personas y sociedad, además de poder disfrutar de algo que me apasiona regalándolo a los demás, que es hacer música.
Muchas gracias y Dios les bendiga !!!
La oportunidad que se dio a muchos niños y niñas de Colombia de conocer otros países Fue Gratificante.
Gracias a Esta organización hubieron muchas sonrisas, sentimientos encontrados, la oportunidad de conocer culturas que nosotros como niños no conocíamos. Le doy gracias a esta organización Por darnos una oportunidad que nunca se repetirá. Mil Gracias...
Yasmanth created fantastic programming at our museum, engaging and delighting hundreds of children and families with their culturally and visually-rich performances, crafts, and activities. The music and dance performances were dramatic and mesmerizing and their hands-on activity stations unique and engaging. As an added bonus, the siblings behind this organization are an inspiration to children everywhere and, like the rest of their family, they are polite and professional. I would highly recommend Yasmanth and everything this nonprofit has to offer.
La posibilidad que nos ha brindado esta organización a niños y jóvenes de Colombia y otros lugares del mundo ha sido de gran ayuda y lo felices que nos han hecho con su apoyo lo recibimos con las mejores ganas gracias & millones de gracias por aquellas sonrisas que nos han permitido plasmar en nuestros rostros con su increíble labor
Being a volunteer was a great experience for me. I had a great time helping out little children and putting a smile on their faces.
The time I had volunteering for this organization was more than amazing, I learn many more things about the Silk Road that I did not know before such as that the Silk Road is actually shape like a chicken. More over we got to help all the children to get to learn about the Silk Road and what was the Silk Road mainly use for. Furthermore we got to meet new people and experience new things, the time I experience with this organization was very good. If I ever get the chance to volunteer again I would defiantly go for it.
Kohl Children's Museum was contacted by Yasmanth about the possibility of presenting their materials. After reviewing their information it was pretty amazing to hear that this organization was started by a brother and sister in their teens. I think that was one of the main reasons why we pursued having them come to the museum. Most of their materials and activities fit our young audience. Communication with Anthony was pretty good, there was some scheduling conflicts on their end for our first date, but they quickly came up with an alternative.
The Miami Beach Senior Center had the pleasure of hosting Yasmanth for an hour and a half show and activities. It was 8 years ago when we had Yasmine come to perform to us belly dancing and hula hoop. She gave an amazing show and the seniors fell in love with her. Now we were lucky to meet her all family. This is truly a one of a kind family. Anthony and Yasmine are an amazing team. They are so professional and entertaining. We loved the dance and the different station learning about the Silk Road. it was a family effort and the seniors could not get enough so we are going to have them again at the end of the month.
It is very nice to see a nonprofit organization led by teens and supported by their all family including the grandparents.
Although Anthony and Yasmine are teens, their attitude and professionalism far surpass their years. I was consistently impressed by their dedication and attention to detail throughout the planning process. Then to see them in action during the program was truly amazing. They brought so much life to the Silk Road and brought our Museum audience along for a wonderful journey!
As a doner I know my supplies have gone to good use education kids about things not seen in everyday life. Yasmanth has been professional and easy to deal with. I look forward to seeing them in action when the male it out to the west coast.
We hosted Anthony and Yasmine at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh this past October, and were truly impressed by the level of tact and dedication with which they conducted their work. It is clear that they spend a great deal of time in perfecting their craft and preserving the culture and traditions that they so professionally brought to our visitors- who were thrilled! They are truly informed, and are wonderful to work with. I absolutely recommend them to any venue- because if anyone can tailor a show to fit your venue, it's Yasmanth!
Yasmanth’s presentation of “Aurora Over the Silk Road” was absolutely extraordinary. Parents and children were actively engaged in seven hands-on cultural stations. In just two hours, this spectacular experience broadened the world view of the entire family. Even if these families never travel to that distant land - they were empowered to share their humanity through connecting with another culture’s language, history, geography, clothing, livestock, art, music, instruments & dance… Wow, I am amazed that Yasmanth effectively accomplished all of these objectives in such a brief time… On behalf of the guests & visitors of Explorations V Children’s Museum, special thanks to Yasmanth for investing in our future generation!
Yasmine is a yoga student and sometimes ballet student of mine. She is a dream come true in the teacher/student environment. Always looking for ways to challenge herself, she applies what I say and thirsts for more. This enthusiasm spills directly into her non-profit organization she and her brother Anthony founded several years ago. To see young adults have a passion for knocking down cultural barriers and educate their peers through their passion(dance and music) is nothing short of inspirational. To know they started as children is a wake up call to all of us to reach out and share our own personal passion with the world. Yasmine and Anthony, the cofounders of Yasmanth, are lovingly supported by their parents and grandparents making this a familial organization filled with love and enthusiasm. What a gift they share and lucky are those who have the chance to see one of their shows. I am humbled by my student. May we all be so privileged.
Yasmanth visited the Children's Museum of New Hampshire on October 9, 2012. They held the attention of our visitors - ages 2 through 12 - for hours! The entire family is involved and delightful. They presented a puppet show, drumming demonstrations and wonderful dancing performances. Stations were set up around the museum for children to learn about silk worms, camels, geography and more. I have never experienced such a professional and enjoyable presentation conceived and executed by teenagers! I highly recommend Yasmanth.
I very much enjoyed the puppet show Anthony and his sister Yasmine put on for the kids ,at The Children's Museum of New Hampshire . These young people of Yasmanth showed a very positive atitude. They have a unique show that gives others worldly knowledge. Everyone at the museum ,both young and old loved their show.
I'm very happy to know Anthony from Yasmanth through CTY. I come from the NYC area so I am very blessed to have such a culturally diverse life. However, like I previously mentioned I am blessed. I believe Anthony and Yasmine's vision of spreading and keeping "cultural legacies" is that of a beautiful one.
It is so encouraging to see young people in these days willing to work hard and achieve their goals. I am happy to see them excelling and going places and performing. Anthony is a very cheerful and positive thinker, he is a young leader who wants to help and serve others. I am so blessed to see them fulfilling their dreams. It is nice to see siblings supporting each other as well.
'Yamanth" is truly one of the most unique an extraordinary organizations existing today. I am especially proud of both of these two individuals for their hard work, integrity, and desire to help others less fortunate than themselves. At such a young age the founders of Yasmanth, Yasmine and her brother Anthony, have done more to educate and help the public than most people do in a lifetime. Supported by their family they are constantly educating youth and adults alike in a brave attempt to build bridges between various cultures. Utilizing their artistry "Yasmanth" creates a harmonious understanding of the humanity in all of us through the spirit of music and dance. Creating an appreciation for art forms that have existed for thousands of years they continue a legacy of social and culture significance. Not only do they educate but they use their donations to give back to some of the communities in the world that are in crucial dire need. At the fore front of their organization is the desire to unify children in the arts to create a powerful voice with a peaceful message of selflessness and helpfulness. Some of the most needed attributes in the youth of today. They are a stellar example of what can be done when empowered by the desire to give. I have had the pleasure of volunteering for Yasmanth as well as educating them in the Middle Eastern Arts of Dance and Music. Their tenacious desire to learn and spread knowledge through the arts is more than commendable but it is their generous spirit and thriving desire to give which reigns supreme.

I am very happy to know Yasmine through the Center of Talent Youth (CTY) program since beginning of 2012, furthermore, to the "Yasmanth", which was established by Yasmine and her brother, Anthony. In addition to their cheerful personality and hard working attitude, I am also very touched and impressed by their work as a bridge on linking West and East culture, music and dance; also use their talents to help unfortunate children. Beside their interests on international music and dance, they have also extended enthusiasm on learning foreign languages, history, and folklore; Giving performance at different cities, regions, and countries to raise fund on helping needed children. At such a young age, Yasmine and Anthony have such a beautiful and respectful life goal, It's a privilege to know Yasmine, Anthony and the Yasmanth.
Yasmanth is run by two very professional individuals that have succeeded through hard work and dedication. At such a young age, it is admirable that they've created such a wonderful program that will have a tremendous impact on our youth for the future.
Anthony Garay, who has been my percussion student for years is a created this organization with his sister to pursue the teaching and performance of music and dance from many cultures. Anthony is a teacher's dream student. He is hard working, enormously creative, enthusiastic and appreciates all knowledge that comes his way. His skills at administering this NFP amazes me for a young man of his age. If any further recommendation is desired please contact me without hesitation at harmonicmotion.com
The proactive youngsters who started this organization are a wonderful example for all our youth, teaching us about tolerance and the beauty of cultural exchanges. They strive to bring children together through a common language: music and dance. Regardless of cultural and language differences everyone who has seen them in action gets motivated by their passion and selflessness - they get carried away in their music and dance in order to bring down the walls of discrimination and bring a smile and hope to many children. I saw them perform in Honduras, Central America - a third world country, where I'm sure many children were positively impacted and hopefully all those little creative minds will fight to pursue their dreams. "Please don't stop the music..."
