It's a Saturday afternoon (15 Apr) when Jerome, Saerze, Jasemaine Gan, Nikki & Jaz rock up to the corner house at Seputeh. We met earlier at Restoran Berjaya (Bangsar - best nasi padang!!!) to chat about what we were to share with the kids. Home of Peace is a home which cares for 12 orphan girls. And this is the home for which the two Intl Womens Day gigs at Bodega and NBT raised monies - on the shopping list were a RM230 classical guitar, some simple percussions, a tambourine, pitch pipe, guitar stand, chord books and song books - and so we spent about RM365 this first visit. There's about RM70 left in the kitty for our next visit. So we figured a visit to jam with Justine Morais (head of de house) and her galz every month with a different group of singer songwriters - doesn't sound so bad eh. Dont' let your talents be wasted wonton. Teach a chords of two to these girls. Anyways, plan is, we try do this the first or second saturday of the month. Anyone keen, pls c
