Latest News from the Playing For Change Foundation

Playing For Change Foundation Bringing change to the township of Gugulethu, South Africa This year marks a decade of the Playing For Change Foundation; join us in celebrating 10 years of positive change through music as we highlight one of our music programs each month starting with the first school in South Africa. South Africa was where we first broke ground with the Playing For Change Foundation music program in 2007. Since then, the Playing For Change Foundation has expanded programmatic efforts in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Each week 100+ students from 10 area primary schools attend weekly music classes at the Imvula Music Program in Gugulethu. These classes include lessons in guitar, vocals, drums, saxophone and keyboard/piano, as well as dance and marimba, and are led by six talented teachers. One Love, The PFC Foundation team Discover the Imvula Music Program  Learn more about Gugulethu "The Playing For Change foundation was born out of our first experience visiting the township of Gugulethu, South Africa 10 years ago. We learned music is the greatest tool we have to provide hope, joy and inspiration to the next generation and that together we can change our world one heart and one song at a time."     - Mark Johnson ( PFCF Co-founder) DONATE © 2017 Playing For Change Foundation Mailing address is: Playing For Change Foundation 532 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica, CA 90401
