This first week is about building relationships and understanding the school environment. With Hazel on hand to oversee and support, Sarah and Katy will begin getting to know the staff and settling into the rhythm of daily life in the school.

The training they’ll deliver over the coming weeks is designed to inspire and equip staff to use music in ways that enrich their work with children. It’s the beginning of an exciting new partnership that we are confident will lead to lasting impact.

This project is supported by our Instruments of Change appeal, which helps us provide the musical instruments needed to make projects like this possible. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Bombolulu School of Promise staff will have access to a new set of quality instruments to use during and after the training. These tools play a vital role in helping staff use music in practical, meaningful ways — turning new ideas into everyday opportunities for exploration, creativity and connection.
