As El Salvador headed into lockdown, Armonia Cuscatleca’s staff and teachers knew they had to find a way to encourage creativity and artistry during this difficult time.
“[The trainers] kept telling me that I was important. That made me come a bit closer to other people. I was trained and I became a community music leader, then I started to help children that felt like me.”
“For three years, during the repopulation of the area, they had no school,” Marna recalls. “Families from the rural areas lost most of their income, and could no longer bring their children to the school in town. The families were very concerned, so they came together to solve the problem. They found a group of four teachers to start a small school for the community, and I was one of them.”
Hometown shows seem like a given for any new band. But up until recently, that wasn’t how it worked in Mitrovica, Kosovo.
Our training program for Community Music Leaders in Rwanda has already moved online. Here’s a lesson given this week by Musicians Without Borders trainer Espoir Rukengeza.
In January 2020, we began a very exciting new collaboration across Musicians Without Borders programs, bringing the expertise of the Mitrovica Rock School to Rwanda Youth Music’s team of passionate Community Music Leaders.
Musicians Without Borders thanks you for your support—also in this difficult time of fear and isolation. Now, more than ever, the safety, wellbeing and creativity of the children, youth and adults in our programs is our top priority.
Given the current health crisis around the world, and measures taken by respective governments to control the spread of COVID-19, all our events, benefit concerts and training programs have been cancelled until further notice.
