For parents/adults and others who are still interested to have their child/children join the classes, can do so on Saturday, September 18th. Registration fee is NAf45.- or US $25.-. Monthly fee is NAf 54,-or US $30.-.

Special thanks to teachers Sir. Reginald "Bobby" Vlaun, and Mr. Hellier Coquillas, who have accepted to assist the Foundation to start up its music classes, despite limited financial resources.
