Project Musical Hour
Volunteers from RC ISME and the Meraki Foundation recently visited an orphanage named Abundant Life Ministries in Goregaon West. Two of the Rotaractors from RC ISME sang songs while one played the guitar. Residents of the orphanage joined in and sang songs along with the student volunteers. Later, everyone was segregated into two teams and musical games were played.
Residents were offered a platform to open up, overcome their stage fear and sing their hearts out. The importance of rhythm was shared with them as also the idea that music, with its positive impact, can help when one is feeling low, and make one feel calm and composed.
The musical hour was like a mini concert for the kids. Each one sang, bonding more with the rhythm as time went by.
