And… WE ARE BACK! It was a long long wait! Since April 2021 our children in Fiji could not access music programs due to the COVID19 situation. We are incredibly happy to let you know that we had our 2 first music sessions at Sigatoka School for Special Education last week and today! Teacher Lisa and teacher John, along with 40 students had an amazing time. Everyone was so wiling to play, sing and dance to the music once again. I would like to say massive thanks to the A TEAM at Sigatoka S...

Thanks to the Ministry of Health for the media releases last year and this year on the virus. Also thanks to ...

We would like to say massive Thanks to this beautiful soul @toddart.jazz who have launched a fundraising for @be_happy_music_club on his own!

Brother… Vinaka Vaka Levu for supporting our cause. This atitude is not only a financial help but also loads up our fuel, motivation ...

In August 2016, 5 years ago I walked through the doors of a school called Fiji School for the Blind, (Fiji Islands) and played music for 15 children. Some would called them special because of their blindness or vison issues. They showed me that they are special because they SEE the world with their feelings and love. We don’t find this easily in a life time. Its a very rare, raw and true LOVE! They inspired me so much in that day, through their voices, laugh, dance and love, so I needed to crea...
