This endeavor has been inspired by the late 1970's music legend Marc Bolan with the support from his partner, Gloria Jones, and their son Rolan Bolan. The Foundation aims to raise funds so that the Marc Bolan legacy can live on in a country where children are orphaned, vulnerable, and disadvantaged. The school has been designed with consideration of the native resources and boasts an outdoor film area, multiple classrooms, various instruments, and a library. This design allows the building to double as a community centre to serve the needs of the entire community. Young people will have the opportunity to come together to develop their skills and talents in the heart of the community as they learn to play musical instruments, compose songs and produce film. The need in Sierra Leone is truly great, and a secure and nurturing learning environment for the children there is something that can repair and inspire the youth. By building this school, we are harnessing the creative spirit of Marc Bolan and providing the resources, education, and inspiration for the youth population to learn music.
