Achiever guests will be greeted by Field Band sounds

OWN CORRESPONDENT

The Foundation is an innovative, successful youth social development organisation built on the principles of a creative after school programme, outside the formal education sector and modelled on the Drum Corps or Show Bands practised in other countries.

Registered as a non-profit organisation, when it was established in 1996, by Plate Glass and Shatterprufe Industries Ltd, the band, traditionally comprising 120 players aged between seven and 21, plays a range of musical instruments, from brass to percussion, and its underlying principles enhances the process of social cohesion and moral regeneration, allowing the exchange of cultural and educational experiences.

In the pursuit of eradicating poverty and underdevelopment in disadvantaged communities, the Foundation creates opportunities for skills development, teaching discipline, focus and essential life-skills to serve over 6 000 young people in building self-sustaining livelihoods.
