Wayne's World Music School has found a
sister school in Kenya! Read on
to find out more about this beautiful new friendship through music:
Life in Kenya is not always easy. Imagine a child walking
miles to get to school, and then settling for crumbling mud structures when they get there, with little funding to
help them, few teachers willing to teach them, and hardly any supplies. But still, they walk--they want their
education, their futures! Now, through various fundraisers in the United States, like one at Leesburg's very own Frances
Hazel Reid Elementary School, foreign helping hands have decided it's time to give these kids the help they need, the help
they deserve. Take a look at their progress in re-building, and then we'll tell you where we come in.
Does this look like the 21st century you
know?
Would you send your child to this school?
The funds are hard to come by, but if those more
fortunate can help with that,
the students will all help to build
their own futures...
They have fun along the way...
No one is too young to help out...
They take one last look at the old...
Before welcoming in the new!
Through all the re-building
of the Mbaka Oromo Primary School, through all the poverty and adversity these chilren face on a daily basis, they have managed
to grow a nationally-renowned school choir! At Kenya's national choir competition, they have placed among the top choirs on
several occasions. They have even won a First Place award! Who says that hard work can't make up for any
disadvantage???
Made up of about 60 students, this
choir learns fully harmonized choir music without personal copies of sheet music or the use of a piano, guided only by
the patience of their teacher and the diligence of their own hearts.
Wayne's World Music Studios would
like to recognize and respect the hard work and obvious love for music shown by these kids, teaching our students
the power of using these extraordinary kids as role models in our own music-making, and finding a way to extend the benefits
of our own good fortune here in America.
Remember, music
is a universal language...let's make the connection.
