Celebrating our first ten years
The Gabriela Mistral Foundation, Inc. carries on the legacy of Gabriela Mistral, particularly, her love and care for the children and seniors of her native country, Chile.
For this purpose, the Foundation promotes and celebrates the life and work of the poet's literary and humanitarian achievements by holding programs and events, and, by providing support to organizations that make an impact in the quality of life and opportunities of those in need.
To promote and disseminate the extensive and important literary work of Gabriela Mistral--Nobel Prize in Literature 1945--the Foundation translates her poetry and essays into English and produces printed and audiovisual material bilingual editions of her work--which the Foundations makes available at no charge to schools in the US, Chile and around the world.
Bridging Worlds, a non-profit organization presents the "Canturía de mi sangre" concert series--Poetry by Gabriela Mistral" in the State of Indiana.
"Canturía de Mi Sangre" or "Song of my Blood" is a live music concert of original compositions by Chilean composer and musician, Kike Galdames, that honors the universal poetry of Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American Nobel Prize laureate. Esteemed globally as one of the great humanistic voices of our time, Gabriela Mistral championed the rights of children, women and indigenous communities. Her poetry embraces love, sorrow, hope and profound humanity and spirituality. The concert is a voyage of 15 original compositions by Chilean composer, Kike Galdames.
