Feeding the Dream, Memphis winner, Donald O'Connor Part 1

This just an FYI the show was not about the Feeding the Dreams is was about Donald. But here is the info about FD.: Feeding Dreams recognizes that every contribution to the community, no matter how big or small, makes a huge impact. We created Feeding Dreams to celebrate all the Community Champions who strive to make a better environment for their families and communities. Whether you started an after school program for kids or volunteer at your local soup kitchen, we are proud to honor everything you do.

O'Conner, a music educator with more than 26 years of teaching experience, knows that education is the only way out of one's challenging circumstances. As the director of Watoto De Afrika (Swahili for children of Africa), O'Conner shares his love of music with youth ages three to 27 in hopes that they nurture and develop their individual musical expressions. By sharing the rich heritage of African-American musicians and their musical contributions, he hopes that all of the young people who participate in the program experience a flourishing of self-esteem and self-worth, and that they develop a greater appreciation for their cultural heritage.

Donald shared with us how he grew up with very little and decided that he wanted more out of life and he wanted to help youth fulfill their dreams.
