LIVINGSTONE, ZAMBIA
Livingstone, Zambia is famous as the home of the world's largest waterfall, Victoria Falls.
But while the region draws more than one million tourists a year from around the world, most local families only earn a few dollars a day.
Play It Forward provides year-round funding for the music program at the Tongabezi Trust School, a private school in the village of Simonga, just outside Livingstone.
Play It Forward's funding covers costs for instruments and a year-round teacher for roughly 300 children from pre-school through the 12th grade.
This summer Sasha returned to Zambia to teach daily courses in person.
Students were given instruction in piano, guitar, singing and songwriting.
Sasha and the students also wrote several original songs together, then performed them at a concert for the community.
Sasha directed the concert on the final day of her visit and made plans to return again next June!
