Time Not Wasted

John Susi Mpandi has been on break from his classes in the Netherlands and has not wasted his time as evidenced by these photos. He has been teaching music to students with disabilities. He still needs his tuition fees to finish his last year at school. Contact me at ellenbrewer@att.net if you are able to help. He needs funds as well as musical instruments. Helping John helps children!

News, News, News!

Greetings and thanks for stopping by again! Just wanted to let you know some exciting things that have been happening for us.
As a result of people forwarding this blog address we have picked up a few new instruments. We have a trombone, a trumpet, a violin, and 2 flutes! Let's see if we can't get a few more! John Mpandi's program needs a total of 50 brass instruments, so we have a good way to go to fulfill his needs.
John is also in need of scholarship monies to finish up his last year of school in the Netherlands. He must be back in school by Sept. 24 and still needs about $12k. John has been teaching children with disabilities this summer and should have some great pictures to post soon. He could really use a laptop and a copier/printer/fax machine to make communication easier. He is relegated to using an internet cafe which makes information swaps difficult due to the time difference between here and Africa.
We are also thankful to the Bill Gates Foundation's TechSoup website for non-profits. We have been able to get the software to set up our website. Hopefully, it will be up and running soon for donation information. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and willingness to get the word out! Please feel free to leave comments that will help point me in directions I had not thought of going, or contact me at ellenbrewer@att.net . I look forward to hearing from you!
