“During my Peace Corps service in South Africa I started a small music project at my school. I was able to get a loan of 8 violins to teach 10 learners with provided by an NGO in the province, Limpopo Youth Orchestra. The kids were empowered by music and they love playing the violin. I took this picture of one of my learners on July 20, 2014, while she was introducing the violin to her family. It was an eye-opening experience to the learners, the community and myself.”
