Music In ME is a non-political world-wide project that uses music as an instrument to bring joy & hope directly to the lives of children in the war torn region of the Middle East.
Frans Wolfkamp had been cultural Director of the Amsterdam Conservancy. In 2003, he was asked to create an orchestra composed of Palestinian Refugee children & Israeli children. While participating in this program, he witnessed something amazing- the healing power of music. By playing side by side in an orchestra, the children who were supposed to be enemies became friends. Children who had before experienced trauma & depression began to feel more optimistic. As a result of playing together a feeling of camaraderie ensued.
WHAT DOES MUSIC IN ME DO? - Music in ME provides exemplary instruction in music or music therapy to children traumatized by the ongoing conflicts in Israel, Gaza, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine.
IT IS SIMPLE – The more donations Music in ME receives the more children will be served.
YOU CAN HELP – On November 10, 2006 at 9:00 P.M. Music in Me will hold a benefit. Rock and Blue Grass bands will perform. Jayson Cross an outrageously funny comedian will serve as MC.
