The Rotary Club of Westmount in Quebec and Fiddleheads.com in British Columbia collaborated to provide violins for students in Trinidad

A picture of their after-school classroom, donated to the Rotary Club by the city, as a site for the music lessons. Like many of the school facilities available in Trinidad, this space is crowded and not very well equipped.

Until now, the students study after school using instruments that stay in the school. I am hoping that the delivery of the new violins will permit a number of the students to take the instruments home for practising between lessons.
