Brae Riding for the Disabled

A Worldwide Grant was awarded to help fund a vaulting program. Brae participants have a variety of disabilities many with common challenges including low confidence, self-esteem, low muscle tone, low levels of communication and patience and very little opportunity to work within a team environment. Participants who are on the autistic spectrum find it difficult to interact with others and read body language. The discipline of vaulting provides the opportunity to overcome these challenges.  – Elaine Milne, DipPFS, 10 – year member

Ukulele Kids Club

A Worldwide Grant was awarded to fund the organization’s Music Heals Hospitalized Children program.  Therapists use interventions that involve playing the ukulele, singing, composing new music, and recreating patient-preferred songs. In a pediatric setting, music therapists primarily use the ukulele to distract children during medical procedures and to raise their spirits during long hospital stays. The kids can then take their ukuleles home with them when they are discharged from the hospital, as a “gift of music for life”. – Susan Gelber, 3-year member
