I'm reminded of Nong, an 11-year-old boy in our community I've known since he was little. His mother works part-time, while his father works in another district for several months. Nong Pan loves music, but there's no space or instructor in the community. He beats a beat on the edge of a table every time he sees me, then softly says, "Brother... I really want to play the drums." That simple phrase inspired me to create this course because I see that music can truly provide support, encouragement, and new opportunities for children like him. This music course was created to address the lack of creative spaces in communities for children and youth. Many children have talent but lack the opportunity, the equipment, and the support of adults. We want to help children aged 7–15 gain a space to learn basic musical skills, collaborate, and use music as a tool for healing. This course is important because it addresses a real need: safety, developmental space, and new opportunities for children. We offer classes twice a week, providing sufficient basic equipment, such as drums, guitars, and ukuleles. We'll also create a mentoring system of youth in the community to ensure the continuity of this course. My hope is to see children like Nong smile, express themselves, gain confidence, and feel valued. Most importantly, I want this course to become a small space that helps children in the community have a broader future.

The project will be sustained by building skills within the community itself. Youth who show interest and ability will be guided to become mentors, allowing the program to continue without relying on outside instructors. The church will provide a consistent space for the activities, and once instruments are in place, they will be used over many years with shared responsibility for their care. Music sessions will become part of regular youth activities, ensuring continuity and ongoing participation. Families and community members will support the program by helping maintain the space and encouraging children to take part. As children grow in their skills, they will also have opportunities to share music within the community, strengthening connection and support. Over time, the program will continue through local leadership, shared ownership, and the lasting value of the skills children gain.
Due to risk of persecution, we've hidden the name of this church.
