“I got involved with Salama at the age of 7, and began to participate in their performing arts program. At Salama I developed my music, percussion and stage presence skills. In addition to the performing arts programming, I found an environment in which I was challenged to live out my faith by learning to accept other people for who they are and I learned how to forgive others. More recently through the work of The Salama Institute, I have been able to improve in my academics particularly in the areas of math and writing. I have just graduated from high school and been accepted to attend Berklee College of Music where I will be training in the field of music management. Salama is a place where young people can experience individualized attention and well rounded programming that will equip them for success.”
