+ Music Collaboration in Dong Yang Camp, Thailand +

Every year we hold a global ideas competition with our staff around the world. We love seeing the inspiring, new ideas that are submitted. This year, we were excited to see one of these ideas come to life in Thailand. Facilitated by ARC and Playing for Change, an organization using music to connect people around the world, this Changemaker idea brought together kids in Dong Yang refugee camp for a two day music workshop including creative, visual arts projects and music lessons. For young kids stuck inside the confines of a refugee camp, the workshop provided a much-needed creative outlet. One participating staff member remarked, "The participants so thoroughly enjoyed the activity and lost track of time while participating because they were so involved." A group from Minneapolis had the chance to travel to Dong Yang to participate in the workshop and production of a music video.
