Practice for Peace
Help children around the world for just minutes or pennies a day.
“Practice for Peace” is a worldwide campaign focused on raising money for the Shropshire Music Foundation’s efforts to create peace and well-being for war-traumatized children through free musical instruments and instruction.
“Practice for Peace” will take place during the month of November 2009. Musicians and music students across the world will donate their practice time to raise money for our important programs. In the time leading up to “Practice for Peace,” the students will get friends, family members, or businesses to sponsor their practice time by pledging a fixed amount per minute of practice.
In addition, one child from each of our programs overseas will be practicing for the month of November. Supporters can sponsor these students below. At the end of the month, the proceeds will help to provide instruments, materials, and instruction for children in war zones worldwide.
