Music @ the Home of Peace

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 contact us via email: jasminelow@gmail.com or jeromekugan@gmail.com ::::: Home of Peace is looking to raise another RM100,000 to help move to their new premises. Happy donors welcome. Pls let us know and we'll pass de message on. Keep smilin...
