Thank you to Geoff and Breanna Butterworth for giving joy! This guitar was delivered to Steven. He is originally from Rwanda. Steven has had to move several times due to conflict and civil war. His love of music started as an escape from the monotony of refugee life. When Steven turned 14 he moved with his family to the US and joined a Bible Study that incorporated music. His love of music has continued to grow and he has been wanting to learn how to play guitar to lead others in worship. #givejoy #giveinstruments

Flashback Friday to 2 years ago when this Flute was delivered to Honduras. Genesis is an aspiring musician that already could play the recorder so she was eager to learn to play the flute. Several other instruments were given to this wonderful program. Our hope is that many kids will grow to love music because of this opportunity. #givejoy #giveinstruments
