Hi all!

I am new to this group but I have a couple of questions and would welcome any
information you would be willing to pass my way. I am looking to start a
drumming circle or group for special needs children. I have been involved in
one session with these kids in Florida and it was very powerful. Kids that had
no voice suddenly had one! There was laughter and joy in these kids and I want
to bring this experience here.

I recently started the Miracle League of Wichita
(www.miracleleagueofwichitaks.org)which is a baseball/t-ball group for kids 5-18
and it was a HUGE success and not I want to start other activities (sports,
music, art) to kids with special needs who don't have many outlets besides the
traditional therapy.

SO my questions are, does anyone know someone who might be interested in leading
a drummming circle for kids once a week for a 4 or 6 week session? And, does
anyone know where I might be able to get some drums either donated or at a
reduced cost? We are operating under a non-profit so it could be a write off
for someone but as of now, our funds are very limited.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you for your time,
Lainie
