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 ContestGary Allegretto has received recognition both as a musician and humanitarian.

DSBS salutes Gary and his efforts on behalf of children beset by disaster.
