Our projects aim to rid children and youth from all kinds of deviation including dropping out of school, dealing/doing drugs, joining gangs, carrying arms, and so on. It is our firm belief that this can solely be done by the power of music, especially choir singing.
We are absolutely convinced that this could only be achieved throughout the power of music in general and the power of choir singing in particular. This power helps us promote many significant concepts such as learning to coexist with others and to harmonize, accepting and respecting others, promoting peace, and finally understanding the importance of ones heritage and culture. Recent studies have shown that choir singing plays an important role in the enhancement of the psychological wellness of singers, increases their self-esteem and self-confidence, trains them to become more disciplined, and increases their memory capacity. All these benefits of choir singing improve the general social skills of singers. The advantages of choir singing are numerous and their effects on children are extremely powerful on their general upbringing.
- Allow access to extra-curricular activities for marginalized children in public primary schools in selected locations in Lebanon
- Pilot the use of extracurricular activities in playing a role in the retention of at-risk and the reinsertion of out-of-school children in Lebanon.
More than 10,000 children were involved in the project.
This table below shows the progress of singers during trainings

They did not know any song of their own heritage. | They have learned many songs from the Arab music heritage (Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Iraqi, Egyptian…) and other International songs. |
They were hyperactive and impatient during the first couple rehearsals. | They can stay calm and disciplined for more than one hour now. |
During break time, their favorite game was beating each other out along with other violent games. | They use the break to make new friends by playing and chatting with each other. |
They had a very aggressive and violent attitude toward other singers and trainers. | They became calmer and a lot more peaceful. |
They had severe personal hygiene problems. | They take better care of their physical appearance. |
They did not care about the neatness of their surroundings and they threw their leftovers randomly. | They always clean the place before and after the rehearsals and never leave any leftovers. |
They always came late to rehearsals. | They give more respect for time and arrive earlier for the rehearsals. |
تهدف مشاريعنا لتجنيب الأطفال والشباب من كافة أنواع الإنحراف بما في ذلك التسرّب المدرسي، والتعامل / تعاطي المخدرات، والانضمام إلى عصابات، حمل السلاح، وهلم جرا. ولدينا إيمان راسخ بأن هذا الهدف يمكن أن يتحقّق بقوة الموسيقى وخاصة الغناء الجماعي. هذه القوة تخلق لدينا طموح في تشجيع مفاهيم مثل العيش المشترك، وقبول واحترام الآخر، وتعزيز السلام، والتعمّق في الثقافة والتراث.
تشير الدراسات إلى أن الغناء الكورالي يلعب دوراً كبيراً في تحسين الصحة النفسية. ليس ذلك فحسب، لكنه يحسن الثقة بالنفس، والانضباط الذاتي، ويزيد من قدرة الذاكرة. كما يعزّز مهارات اجتماعية أفضل. فوائد الغناء في جوقة كثيرة، وآثارها على الأطفال هي الأقوى لتأمين حياة سليمة لأجيال المستقبل.
• تحسين الوصول إلى الأنشطة اللاصفية للأطفال المهمشين في المدارس الابتدائية الرسميّة في مواقع مختارة في لبنان
• استخدام الأنشطة اللامنهجية في لعب دور في الإبقاء على المعرّضين للخطر وإعادة الدمج للأطفال من خارج المدرسة
