The importance of music development may never be underestimated. Music is Maths, Social Cohesion, Self-Awareness and Self-Expression. It is Cultural Identity while being Globally understood and shared. It’s a unifier while being a deeply personal expression of the inner emotions and subconscious mental capacity. It has no boundaries, no prejudice. It’s physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Its conscious and intentional while subconscious and spontaneous.

At Viva Foundation life without music is unimaginable. Music is more than just a program at Viva. Its the very expression of who we are and integrated in every activity: Education, Development, Poverty Alleviation. Whenever we’re together, we sing, we dance and we share our music!

Thank you Gerben Grooten for your valuable support of the Viva Music Development Program!
