Violin Lessons Help Myanmarese Refugees Build Community
04-02-2025
In a Thai border town, violin lessons are building community among refugees from Myanmar. Phoe San, a Myanmarese migrant, offers weekly violin lessons and a free instrument loan program at a local community center, attracting dozens of students who are making connections with one another in their new home through the joy of music. This is a beautiful example of how one individual’s actions can have a positive impact on many. Learn more about it from Radio Free Asia.
