A force for philanthropy in Panama through her Fundacion Puertas Abiertas (Open Doors Foundation), Ender performed two songs that address the needs of abandoned kids and the power of diversity when people come together. She also discussed how she reaches out through her songwriting "to use music as a vehicle to do good."

"I know I'm writing the soundtrack of someone else's life," she said. "I know how powerful music is, and how it can heal people, and how it can make people get together and unite."
