Practice for Peace – Sponsor a Child

Sponsor A Child.

Help the foundation by pledging to donate an amount per minute of a specific child’s practice time. For example, you might pledge to donate 10 cents for every minute that Eoghan from Northern Ireland practices his harmonica. Your donation will go to help our music programs continue in the child’s area, and the child will know they have helped keep the program running for their community.

Eoghan from Northern Ireland

Eoghan from Northern Ireland

This is Eoghan. He lives in Northern Ireland, where children his age are typically segregated into Catholic and Protestant groups. He, however, is learning about tolerance and peace through interactive music classes with other children of all religions. He expects to practice his harmonica several minutes a day. Please pledge to sponsor his fervent efforts.

Sponsor a Child - Forteza

Fortesa from Kosovo

This is Fortesa, she is 13 years old and was born in Gjakova, Kosovo. During the war she was forced to hide inside her home for three months straight as bombing went on outside day and night. Her father was taken from their home and kept in a Serbian prison until nearly two years after the war ended. Her mother died two years ago from breast cancer. Foretesa’s goal is to practice a whopping two hours per day to help the foundation! Please pledge to sponsor this brave girl.
