It will bring tears to our eyes and love in your hearts, as it did mine when I was there helping and teaching!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dcj474QohQ     Kindermusik with Kathy’s own director and Maestro Educator Kathy Hayden is embarking on her second journey back to her "babies" and little loved ones in India with her project: Global Arts Outreach: India's Untouchables. Kathy has been serving the children of Santa Barbara for many years as an Elementary school teacher and Music Specialist, a former owner of Gymboree, and for the past 13 years, directing Kindermusik with Kathy.

  After raising two daughters of her own and recently sending them off to college and into their own lives, Kathy is able to redirect and expand her life’s work. Kathy says, “I began to envision a greater project that would take, the English language, learning, music, art, joy, laughter and love where it was most needed.  I know there are so many children out there in need of this, and this is what I know, this is what I love to do and what I am meant to do.”

  Kathy’s passion to love and empower children with music, movement, art  and teaching English has led her to the project of Global Arts Outreach: India’s Untouchables. Living and serving at an orphanage in a remote village in the Himalayas, Kathy will bring her talents to an English speaking school/orphanage run by an American doctor who had much the same vision and who created the rural outreach project Ramana's Garden (see sayyesnow.org). The orphanage has about 60 children in residence while the school at Ramana’s Garden has about 150 students consisting of the residents and the desolute children from the surrounding villages.

Please see this video of our vision and mission to help these "untouchable children" and donate to Kathy's cause:  http://www.crowdrise.com/ramanas

Kathy leaves October 6th, 20011 to go back for her 2nd time and teach school in the mornings and enriching the children in the afternoons with music. On the weekends she will be going out into the villages and volunteering directly with woman and children with various needs.

  Kathy will be traveling alone on this maiden voyage but is hoping that this will be the beginning of many projects in a collaborative effort to train staff, distribute lessons, instruments and materials wherever there are children that can be strengthened through the joy of music, art and creative self expression which can create hope, a sense of self and a life purpose for them.

  Please donate!! The goal now is to raise funds for the children who have basic needs of underwear, socks, t-shirts and pants, as well as, instruments and materials at the school. A PayPal donation button has been set up at http://www.kindermusikwithkathy.com/IndiasChildren/index.html.

Or donate at:  http://funds.gofundme.com/33joo

  Funds raised will be used to directly benefit the children of Ramana’s Garden and to help Kathy travel there. The good news is that a little money goes a long way.

  Anyone familiar with Kathy’s local programs will know that she has been a generous supporter of many organizations by donating her time and talents and has always found ways for people in need to attend her classes in SB. Global Arts Outreach: India’s Children will be an extension of what Kathy Hayden has already been contributing to the well being of our own children for over 20 years.
