Friends,

It's been a while. Not that Musical Ambassadors Of Peace hasn't been busy, we have. But I've also been busy. My husband and I recently moved and are in the process of selling our house. So a lot of things have had to wait. Now that the smoke is starting to clear, there is so much to tell you!

Abaho and his team are still improving the lives of refugees in Uganda. They continue to dance with the former child soldiers on a regular basis, and their numbers continue to grow.

They also focus their efforts on larger events that bring people of different tribes and backgrounds together to strengthen the broader community, build bridges of common experience and celebrate resilience, unity and culture.

Here is the video of their World Refugee Day Gathering. Abaho had 284 people in attendance from diverse refugee communities. As I watch this video I am filled with hope for humanity. I am moved by the joy with which the children dance. I'm so grateful for people like Abaho who are committed to doing the work to create a better, more peaceful world!

Message from Abaho

I wish to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support in funding our World Refugee Day event. Your continued partnership uplifts lives and amplifies the message of peace and unity. Thank you for standing with us and with displaced communities during such a meaningful occasion.

Musical Ambassador Training - October 3rd - 5th, 2025

Yes, this was scheduled for the spring, but we decided to postpone it until this fall. I have no doubts that it was the correct decision. The timing feels right now and we are so excited!

This is going to be a powerful three days of trauma-aware, culturally sensitive, uplifting approaches to facilitating movement and music-based group experiences. While it is geared for those who may want to become Musical Ambassadors, you don't need to become an ambassador in order to take the training. You can also take it for your own benefit.

Now more than ever, it is so important for us to find uplifting ways to come together in community and strengthen our bonds. If this feels right for you, then I encourage you to reach out to learn more. And if it feels right for someone you know, then please pass it on!
