Boarding House residents join 
The Sydney Street Choir

In April last year Boarding House Residents from the suburb of Marrickville started jamming with the Sydney Street Choir once a week.
 
 Weekly choir rehearsals are a highlight and something that these residents look forward to... "this is better than having a party!".. "this is the best hobby I've ever found in my life!"..   
Three residents have gone out and purchased guitars to keep the music going in their own back yards. Some residents who barely talked are now singing whole songs solo in the rehearsals! 

The opportunity to be 'heard' and also 'valued' for their input doesn't come to our folk much, so this is a tremendous new experience for them - and the benefits of it extend into soooooooo many areas of their life. It's not just that their self esteem is improving "a bit". Their esteem and confidence have improved so much that we have seen complete transformations in some of our clients. People who have been fairly quiet or introverted, or those reliant on highly structured routines and schedules, or those with the compulsion to always be active, to always be talking are ALL OF THEM learning to become more adventurous, more flexible and more open to silence and stillness. They are learning to LISTEN to each other and to themselves. They are becoming more actively involved in the creation of their own lives and they are loving it! It's a pleasure to watch and a privilege to be involved with.
