 HARMONIKIDS PROVIDES
UNIQUE
MUSIC THERAPY
TO EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS
& CHILD SLAVERY VICTIMS
IN HAITI
~
In late May, blues musician and Delaware native son Gary
Allegretto took his nonprofit organization Harmonikids
(http://www.Harmonikids.org) on
a music therapy mission to aid children in Port Au Prince, Haiti who are
not only earthquake survivors but who are also "restaveks," a Creole word
used for those who are victims of child slavery.
World-recognized as a
powerful and effective mode of communication, restoration, and
healing, music therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses
music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of
individuals. Harmonikids is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that
provides music therapy to special needs children worldwide using
harmonicas and entertaining lessons. Since 1985 founding director Gary
Allegretto has been actively providing the therapeutic healing power of
music to kids with incredible physical and emotional challenges. His
widespread and diverse missions have included those traumatized by such
natural disasters as the tsunami in Indonesia and Hurricane Katrina in
Louisiana.
Winner of the
recent Alternate Roots Magazine's Songs for Social Change Contest, Gary
Allegretto has received recognition both as a musician and humanitarian.
DSBS salutes Gary and his
efforts on behalf of children beset by disaster.

regarding his very moving trip to Haiti in Guerilla-Blues Radio's June
