Donated Drums Keep the Beat in Haiti

Donated Drums Make the Trip to Haiti

To say that I am proud that my baby brother walks the walk is an understatement. He is currently in Haiti visiting with the people that his church, Epiphany Lutheran in Suwanee, GA, have pledged to support. Through the Haitian Timoun Society, the travelers work to create a future of hope, sustainability and dignity. The work isn’t complicated, just requires a considerable amount of love and dedication.

My brother, a drummer himself since the early 1980’s, was pleased to be able to help set up a drum set donated by the Mullenbach family. Even though I am not privy to be a fly on the wall today on his trip, I imagine that he banged the drums a bit with the band.

Probably couldn’t resist, but that meant that he would have to put the camera down for a few minutes. This trip is different. Previously, Steve had used his professional video editing skills to film and create messages designed to promote the incredible work being done in Haiti. He always had a camera in his hands and looked at Haiti though a lens. This time, he began his trip by looking forward to being a more “hands on” participant.

In any case, the work being done by The Haitian Timoun Foundation is crucial to the future of sustainability. Check out their work and stay tuned for the music that is the real rhythm of Haiti.
