Provide Youngsters with Musical Instruments

The Salesians in this community want to offer young people another skill set to enrich their lives and to hopefully inspire them and give them some joy. By supplying musical instruments and the lessons needed to play them, the Salesian vision is to create a school band that will encourage, motivate – and lift the spirit of the entire community. The Salesians are looking to fund a complete set of several instruments, such as drums, trumpets, bass, etc. to assemble a band and give these poor children the gift of music.

Even partial funding of 2 instruments would be a welcome start – for example, $1,000.00 would supply a 6-piece drum set and $320.00 would enable the band to buy a trombone.

This project is located at the Don Bosco Matadi School and Youth Center, in Liberia.

The total cost for a complete set of several instruments = $5,840.00.
