Every student at Eagle Rock School in Estes Park, Colorado shares two characteristics: they do not expect to graduate from high school and they want to make a change in their lives. Many of the students come from violent background and communities. A critical intervention is required for them to make a transformation in their lives. For the past three years, Project Ahimsa has helped produce a unique course entitled “Tablas + Turntables: Redefining Sound & Re-Imagining Instruments” designed by Robin Sukhadia and Walter Kitundu.

About me
Project Ahimsa is a global effort to empower youth through music. The organization was founded in 2001 in response to the violent attacks on Sikhs and South Asians after 9/11. The organization operates under the auspices of the Patel Foundation for Global Understanding, a registered 501c3 non-profit based in Tampa, FL. Project Ahimsa’s mission is to empower youth though developing and supporting community based music education.
