Our Music Students In Ghana Unite To Record An Original Song



We are pleased to share the impact your support is having on children around the world. Their words affirm the ways that music is changing their lives for the better. It is particularly exciting to see these beautiful children grow up and flourish now that they’ve had music through Playing For Change Foundation programs in their lives over many years.

Halik is one such student. We are so proud of the skills and passion he has developed over 5 years at the Bizung School of Music & Dance. We are honored to present his original song, filmed and recorded with students and teachers at the Bizung School.

Thank you for believing in Halik and for investing in him and the more than 1,000 students who are learning music through Playing For Change Foundation programs. When we come together, everything is possible.
