MUSIC INSTRUMENTS & ART MATERIALS APPEAL for music and art therapy with Ukrainian Refugees in Poland.
Everyone knows that in every Irish home there is a musical instrument that isn't used as much as it could be.
Friend of mine Kris Stachyra asked if we coukd help. He is a music therapist with a big heart. He is based in Lublin, beautiful city in Eastern Poland, close to Ukrainian border.
Kris and his friends provide therapeutic support to Ukrainian refugees. They do music therapy, music workshops at the local community centre. They have over 60 refugees attending every day. They also deliver colouring books, art materials to the crowded hostels and other places where Ukrainian refugees stay. Kris says they have enough instruments for small kids but they urgently need music instruments for adolescents and adults such as big drums, djembe drums, keyboards, string intruments etc.
If you have any instruments that are unused, gathering dust and wish to lets someone else play them again please contact me ASAP.
I can collect them and organise transport to Kris, to Poland.
Your donation of any new art materials and colouring books that could be used in art therapy with Ukrainian children would be very welcome as well.
