Day 18

Cite Soleil Music School, Haiti

Local Haitians founded the Cite Soleil Music School in 2006 as an alternative to the violence that has ravaged Cite Soleil, with the philosophy of replacing weapons in the hands of children with musical instruments, using music to foster peace in Haitian communities...The Music School, directed towards creative opportunities and productive reflections, offers youth a safe community space for growth through music.
