The first shipment arrives at Shepherds Junior School

On Monday, January 18, 2010, the 1st shipment of instruments arrived in Arusha! Hearing the messages of gratitude from the children and Mama Lucy and seeing photos of the school assembly gave me a feeling of pure joy.

More photos are arriving and being assembled for a larger article. The article will cover the future plans for instruments, music, and opportunities for musicians and all to join and help Shepherds Junior succeed.

Many thanks to all for support and continued dedication to spread the word. The work of Tweetsgiving.Org is truly amazing and I strongly encourage you to read more about it. Epic Change is possible. Find ways to make charity an "open source" event where you can participate directly in helping others.

Shepherds Junior, it is now time to ROCK!

Cheers,
Jonathan
