One of the most memorable experiences of my life. Primarily, it was connecting with the children, many of them were so invest in making music because that’s all they had in their lives. Hearing their stories and seeing how much the program has changed them melted my heart. Then, it was the execution: absolutely flawless. Everything was well out together, organised and thought through. Last, it was the instructor - Junayne - who was not just a brilliant teacher but an enthusiast and a life coach.

Pros

The kids
Instructor
Vibes

Cons

No much icl

The experience was really fun and i was introduced to the marimba. I was able to bond with the people in my group and the views and scenery was amazing. Through the people in the program, i was able to tour the nearby village and learn a lot more about their way of life. The instructor was extremely energetic and brought a lot of life to the group - and being able to meet the kids that were involved in the program was wonderful. They were all so sweet and welcoming and are amazing at playing the marimba.

Pros

Lots of fun
Great instructor
introduction to the community
