Fun at FFP band camp!
Food For the Poor Jamaica’s recent band camp project, which provides musical instruction for children age six through 16 on a variety of instruments was yet another success in engaging children for the summer holidays.
Attendees got the opportunity to be exposed to professional guidance and teaching on the various musical instruments and stylings on offer.
The children, and their parents, expression appreciation as talents were unearth and horizons expanded.
The intention is that programme will continue to be an annual event serving the community.
At the end of the programme a graduation exercise was held to recognise the achievements of attendees in tribute to the hard work they had put in towards developing competence.
