Their two concerts were the hi-lite of our country’s Amahoro Peace Week celebration. The publicity and awareness they created was worldwide and since then our country has thrived far beyond even our own lofty dreams and expectations from the Empowerment Tree that they have grown as part of their advocacy for each cause that they represent. It is my hope to someday be able to tell other outstanding causes about this important opportunity and significant Helpful Step Forward for their sustainable future.” ~ Ella Magera – Kigali, Rwanda\n\nSee video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV8tM36x4AYt=32s and also here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oplUrCUcNq8t \n\nA Jazz for Peace Empowerment Grant provides a “Helpful Step Forward” to a Grant recipient in the following 6 ways:\n\n1.
