At the beginning of this year, we were contacted by the Music School of Peterson Delva, a music school that provides free music lessons to students in Belladere, a vulnerable suburb outside Port-Au-Prince. This program's short term goal is to start a string program, and eventually have an entire symphony. Thanks to a donation from MFW violin teacher Amy Tai, we have been able to send 5 beginner violins. These violins are expected to arrive in the month of March.
Haiti is struggling with gangs trying to overthrow the government, and we have been aware of music students who have been forced to flee their homes and find somewhere safe while leaving their belongings behind.
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!
