List of activities

We returned to visit our Local Partners in Gisenyi who had been running their music programme for over a year. Since a follow up visit in 2015 a house for therapy and rehabilitation had been opened opposite the Ubumwe Community Centre with a room dedicated to music therapy that can be used by our Local Partners. Our visit was an opportunity to support our partners adapting their use of music, partly inluenced by national reforms of statutory care which led to the closure of the Noel de Nyundo orphanage.

After 6 successful deliveries of our “Music for young children with disabilities” training, delivered as a Distance Learning Model, we took the decision to suspend the project for a year in order to focus on building capacity to secure its longterm future. We continued local discussions with people who may be able to help us gain locally recognised accreditation for the course and we appointed a local moderator, Monika Szabo, to help us with its delivery in the future.
