About The Collaboration between GITC & PFC
The collaboration between Playing for Change and Guitars in the Classroom has been developing ever since GITC's executive director, Jessica Baron was introduced to PFC's founders, Whitney Kroenke and Mark Johnson (www.playingforchange.com) by leaders of The United Nation's committee on "Music as a Natural Resource." This group's initiative is dedicated to improving the quality of life in developing and developed nations through music. Both GITC and PFCF are featured in the group's recently released Compendium. It has become clear that GITC's work bringing musical learning to schools around the country Is a perfect complement to PFCF's creation of new music schools in villages in Rwanda, Mali, South Africa, Nepal, and beyond.
Says Whitney Kroenke of The Playing For Change Foundation, "Connecting with an organization as extraordinary as GITC and a leader as committed and passionate as Jessica Baron is a dream come true. We are committed to extending the reach of the PFCF around the globe, and are confident that a partnership with GITC can help us share our belief that peace and change are possible through the universal language of music".
"Working with Playing for Change is an inspirational experience," adds Jess. "They have captured the imaginations and are awakening the hopes of people all over the world to promote peace through music, and their schools in developing nations are forging new musical pathways every day. We are very proud to fly our banner alongside theirs with this auction."
