Gift for Haiti Kids |
|
LAWiM is very proud to have "gifted" HARMONIKIDS in support of their trip to Haiti. This program helped put 1,000 harmonicas in the hands of kids in the devastated and poverty-stricken areas of Port Au Prince in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. The purpose of Harmonikids mission in Haiti was simply to provide a musical sanctuary, a means of self-expression and joy to to children traumatized by the earthquake and offer them a means to access some of the childhood hopes and dreams that had been cruelly stolen from them.Our donation to Harmonikids was funded by our "Musical Gifts and Scholarship Program" for kids in need as part of our Young Talent Night. Founded by award-winning harmonica player, Gary Allegretto, HARMONIKIDS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing harmonicas & the joy of music to special needs children. The program gives harmonicas to children with a wide range of physical or emotional disadvantages and teaches them to play simple songs through easy instruction and gentle encouragement. Harmonikids' goal is to provide a fun, interactively educational, and entertaining diversion for kids who have tremendous emotional and physical challenges.
