The Gauteng Department of Education provided the school with these<br />

instruments:<br />

• 9 full-size violins<br />

• 9 clarinets<br />

• 9 trumpets<br />

• 15 harmonicas<br />

• 1 electronic piano<br />

Now we face the daunting task of dividing these relatively few instruments<br />

amongst the two hundred-plus learners that we cater for, but we are<br />

extremely grateful to the following sponsors for the contributions that they<br />

have made to Melodi ya Mamelodi:<br />

AIMS<br />

• UNISA <strong>Music</strong> Foundation (instruments, examination fees and<br />

invitations to concerts for our learners)<br />

• Waterkloof House Preparatory School (instruments)<br />

• Polliacks (instruments)<br />

• Notation <strong>Music</strong><br />

• <strong>Music</strong>a Instruments<br />

• Cornwall Hill College<br />

• McCarthy Motors (piano)<br />

• Dr Meyer (providing daily food and clothes)<br />

• The Embassy of Spain<br />

• The Suzuki society in Canada and France<br />

• Berit Oogle of Sweden<br />

• Other private donors<br />

Our main aim is to provide for the basic needs of all of our learners. We<br />

support the notion of Ubuntu, “each child is our child”. We have also set<br />

our goals much further and we strive towards:<br />

• Creating more centres in townships and underprivileged<br />

communities where music can be taught and hope can be created<br />

• Creating more sponsored teaching and therapy opportunities to<br />

enable people to work with these communities<br />

• To link different communities and disciplines together in the New<br />

South Africa<br />

• Bringing children, and adults together from different communities to<br />

make music together<br />
