Worldwide Phenomenon

When I tell people I just got back from Uganda the question is always "Why were you in Uganda?"
The answer is worldwide phenom Melissa Adams. She's brilliant! So brilliant in fact she designed a project that The U.S. State Department and MTVU chose to fund and document. The project focused on the use of a hip hop (also a worldwide phenom) as music and dance therapy for war affected children. If you click her name up there you can learn all about the research, the work, the kids etc...
I know what your television and the radio have convinced you to buy isn't always good for you; but don't under estimate the positive influence hip hop can have on people. Especially when you put it in the hands of positive people.
