A couple of months ago I met up with the second cohort of musicians from the South Korean organisation Music For One Foundation. The Foundation describes itself as "a performing arts-based humanitarian organisation dedicated to working with children and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential through music and music education". There are many programs that make up the organisation but volunteers Stacy, Kris and Chanmi are part of the Gift of Music Program which seeks to deliver music education to communities in less developed countries.
Their program has funding from the Korean government for three years and they are teaching at a university music department, a Lutheran Bible school and a children's centre with 300 primary aged children. Let's hope it can continue!
