Support Ramzi Aburedwan's Fundraising Campaign

Ramzi Aburedwan, virtuoso of the bouzouk, oud and viola, is continuing to encourage children in Palestinian refugee camps to learn music. Having been raised in a refugee camp himself, the musician is aware of the daily struggles that these children face. The lack of space and opportunities for musical development, was one of the reasons for Ramzi Aburedwan to found Al Kamandjâti in Palestine in 2005. Since then, the music school has provided many musical opportunities for children in refugee camps.

Recently, Al Kamandjâti has launched a fundraising campaign:

'Al Kamandjâti resolution for this New Year will be to pursue its efforts in order to reach as many children and youth as possible and give them the opportunity to discover and learn music through our activities.'

Obviously, this would not be possible without any help. Here's how to get involved:

  • Support Al Kamandjâti online by liking their Facebook page, forwarding their emails and events to your networks.
