This video (made 10+ years ago) interviewed Lenar Ocosta, a kid with knife scars who was 'saved' from the street by being given a clarinet to play in an orchestra. Since this taping, Lenar has gone to Berlin to study pipe organ technology and is now in Caracas and in charge of the great pipe organ in the new concert hall. Music CAN and DOES transform lives. And, with your help, the Foundation to Assist Young Musicians (FAYM) can do its part in doing just that! Please join us and donate today!

How much talent is buried in poverty? How many great minds never come to fruition because they are trapped in the cycle of poverty, a cycle they cannot get out of? Not only are musicians buried in the world's slums, but possibly great scientists, writers, or statesmen. What a waste. One man can have a billion dollars and a billion children don't have one dollar. What a waste.

this video is so inspiring i wish more countries would do this
This is wonderful! Excellent and inspiring, especially for those who work in juvenile justice and youth development. There is something wonderful about music that liberates the spirit in ways beyond traditional intervention programs. We need El Systema here in NYC! (Ruben Austria, Soros Justice Fellow)
