Our Special Programs & Workshops
01
Music Hub: Culture Through Sound
Launched in 2020, the Music Hub offers children hands-on access to instruments and workshops during school holidays. With guitars, keyboards, and drums donated by the community, kids learn the basics — and often uncover something deeper: confidence, creativity, and raw talent waiting to be heard.

IT Hub: Creating with Technology
Set up to provide access in a community with no libraries or home computers, the IT Hub has become a launchpad for digital creativity. Kids explore filmmaking, sound editing, and storytelling — using phones and donated gear to make short films and develop 21st-century skills.
