For generations, Durbanville Children's Home has provided care and a place of safety for children who have experienced difficult circumstances. And sometimes, music can offer something that words alone cannot.
In 2012, Proud Partners decided to help bring a little more music into the children's lives.
With the generous assistance of Global Music and Yamaha, we donated 15 Yamaha recorders and a keyboard to the Home, giving the children new opportunities to discover the joy of making music.
But the instruments didn't arrive alone.
Acclaimed South African singer Nianell joined Proud Partners for the presentation, sharing her music and a heartfelt message of encouragement with the children.
Through her songs and motivational talk, she reminded them that each was unique, that their circumstances need not define their future and that they had every reason to believe in their potential.
For the children and staff, it was a memorable occasion. For Proud Partners, another opportunity to share something meaningful.
Fifteen recorders. One keyboard. And a whole lot of possibilities.
