I have so much gratitude to all that made this dream come true. Firstly to Charles Banks who sponsored our travel and accommodation. This was an enormous gesture of kindness,, compassion and caring for the less privileged in our area and we will be eternally grateful. We are grateful to every single person who contributed, be it simply buying a CD, or putting some coins in our busking box and to those who were more generous. I am particularly in awe and grateful to our children, who, along with their friends and colleague's contributed more than half of the monies raised for this amazing opportunity. Your caring, energy and support of us an our endeavors are simply "lump in the throat stuff" and we are eternally grateful to you all.
We are already busy with phase 2 of this project where we are planning to hire a premises in Wolseley town, source more instruments and get the next wave of youngsters trained in playing marimbas. We plan to establish the amaWolseley Cultural Association and start this with a marimba school and grow from here. You have all assisted us in achieving a dream thought impossible by many and have given us the tools to take this forward and to be able to leave a legacy of empowerment, and to be able to "Heal the world, one beat at a time". Words cannot express our gratitude to everyone.
