YE FELICIA from the Netherlands

YE Felicia Von Maltzahn from D-1600, the Netherlands, created a violin school for poor children at her host city in Brazil.

Most of these children had NEVER had any access to music and some were homeless.

She conducted a performance of that violin group before the end of her exchange year in our nation capital, Brasilia.

She left behind not only a music school but alsoa great example to be followed.

Besides having full support of her host Club,she was helped by otherYE students hosted in thecity and ROTEX students.
