Meet Rafeeq
He grew up here. Now he wants to give back.
“I had kids come to me asking to start a band, and I never knew where to start.”
Born and raised in Capricorn, Rafeeq knows firsthand the challenges of growing up with poverty and crime nearby. Without money for formal music lessons, he taught himself to play the trumpet by watching YouTube videos.
Now children from his own neighbourhood have asked him to help them form a band. He wants to give them access to music, encouragement and a safe place to belong — opportunities he had to find for himself.
The children are motivated, but the band has repeatedly had to stop when drums broke. The project is at an early stage. It needs donated equipment, repairs and a safe rehearsal venue before it can run consistently. Your contribution helps make that first step possible.
