Violin lessons for orphans in Arusha

The first violin class in Tanzania

At the Living Water Children Center orphanage in Tanzania, Arusha, we founded Tanzania’s first violin class together with Tanzanian musician Catherine. It is important to us to offer the children there a new perspective by providing them with music lessons. The violin class is also attended by many children with albinism. They receive special support through the violin lessons. We have found an excellent project manager in Catherine, our MUSICIAN ON SITE. The children are taught twice a week by Catherine and another teacher, Caroline. The children are enthusiastic and have discovered a new zest for life through the music lessons. The children practice diligently and radiate a whole new strength and vigor. The violin group now regularly performs and provides musical accompaniment to celebratory events. Students from the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich support the violin project with volunteer work.
