difficult, but not impossible
Everything seems difficult here in Kinshasa, because people are so terribly poor. This is our greatest challenge here: We are doing our best to make sure that the project of Music Fund in Kinshasa can end up creating jobs and wealth. This is not easy at all. Because of their lacking sufficient amount of income, many of the teachers of the school are after immediate gains, something we cannot offer them, as training to become an instrument repair technician takes a lot of time (up to 3 years).
For more pictures about this 'mission' to Kinshasa, go to the blog of the luthiers Jacky Walraet and Karel Dedain - for their blog, click here - both guitar-makers and teaching at the Flemish Lutherie School of Puurs (CMB Puurs).
