Press Release
Musical Ambassador of Peace,
Ari Honarvar,
Brings Some Musical Love
to Caravan Refugees in Tijuana
|
Ari Honarvar, Musical Ambassador from Iran of Musical Ambassadors of Peace traveled across the border from San Diego to Tijuana on March 12, 2019.
"We got to play, drum, and dance with our asylum-seeking friends waiting to be processed in Tijuana. We met asylum seekers from Nicaragua, Haiti, and Mexico with heartbreaking stories but hopefully our session helped lift their spirits.
We didn’t have enough drums, so we cut up wood and used drumsticks to make music. I think it worked out well!"

Ari Honarvar, a refugee herself, has been carrying our healing musical energies into the Caritas Center in Tijuana, Mexico.
Ari is a refugee from Iran. She knows something about how it feels to have to flee one’s homeland.
The Caritas Center is offering sanctuary to some of the women and children and men who are currently fleeing the “northern triangle,” which has become one of the most dangerous places in the world. These refugees are from Honduras and Guatemala and El Salvador.
