Back in 2017, I took on one of the most daring decisions of my life, I traveled to Haiti on my own to teach violin. This experience was shocking as I did not expect to find highly motivated and talented students living under such a difficult conditions. Their instruments were not considered a personal property, and they were often times shared by many students. Most of these instruments needed restoration, and their bows were every time less playable due to lack of rosins and bow rehair.
MFW is committed to helping these Haitian music programs, and so far we have been able to help them transport instrument donations from the US to Port-Au-Prince. A few weeks ago, a dozen violins were delivered to music programs Symphonik Ecole de Musique and Ecole Musique de Delouis, and next week they will be receiving another load of instruments.
At MFW we are fully committed to empowering music programs across the globe, and there is not enough we can be doing to help well deserving music programs and students worldwide strive in music. We want to thank all of you who believe in our cause and are supporting this kind initiative, stay tuned for more updates on this venture!
