The Valleys and Mountains Development Foundation Annual Report 2015 - | Page 30

 It is an accepted fact that music, and specifically drumming, can play an

enormous role in the mental and emotional development of children, and is a
powerful tool for young people to de-stress.
The Foundation erected a “beautiful noise” spot (a stretch tent) on the
premises which is conducive to letting everything go and just make
harmonious noise. Around 45 school children participated in this programme.
It is also the venue where nine youths who are interested in playing in a band
got exposure, training and practiced.

 (The venue is also used for workshops and dance practice)
 The 103 preschool children have daily music sessions in the tent, as well as

the after-school support group of 35.
