MISSION

(Committee United For Salvadorans)

Comite En Union Para Salvadoreños (CEUS) is a non-profit community organization dedicated to the development, education and organization of the
Central American and Hispanic community in Hudson County, NJ.

CEUS seeks to achieve this goal through programs including: English As A Second Language Classes; Spanish Literacy classes; a membership program; a women's empowerment group; leadership training workshops; and advocacy work to promote immigrants rights. CEUS also supports a poor community in El Salvador economically and politically.

CEUS is certified as a 501©(3) tax-exempt organization by the IRS and is registered as a non-profit organization by the State of New Jersey. The
group was started by Salvadoran refugees and is funded almost exclusively by community donations and service fees. Most of the group work is done by volunteers.

Rick DellaRatta was invited to lead a band consisting of: 'Israeli, Middle Eastern, European, Asian & American' Jazz musicians in a concert inside the United Nations, for an international audience.Rick named this band:


"Jazz For Peace™"


Jazz for Peace's mission is to help advance people to their highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace through our "Jazz For Peace™ Concerts" worldwide - joining forces (or performing) with multi-cultural musicians to spread peace through the art form of Jazz and entering regions that are politically controversial. By the means of live concerts, video taping, on hands/on-line teaching as well as supplying musical instruments to underprivileged children in under developed areas worldwide, Jazz for Peace will re-enforce what past history has proven - that the art form of Jazz has the ability to create a positive effect that unites people and may eventually start to transform the barriers and issues of different cultures and beliefs.

Recent Quotes:
"Rick DellaRatta is one of the finest Jazz pianists alive."
               --Savannah Times
"It is actually the quality of DellaRatta's voice that grows on me more & more with repeated listenings. At first I felt that Rick's strengths as a pianist were foremost, but with time I have come to understand that Dellaratta's skill as a vocalist is not to be underestimated. "His voice has quite a haunting quality to it, being slightly androgenous in tone, sometimes ghostly.... sometimes sexy. "

".....sure it will be a good show."
