On September 23, 2010 the children in After-School Program had a chance to take part in a musical showcase presented by musician Haile Israel. For over 30 years, Haile Israel has performed across the world with various Reggae bands including The Marley’s. Mr. Israel performed his own musical renditions of popular Bob Marley songs such as, “One Love” and “Three Little Birds”. The children were delighted they were able to see Mr. Israel perform and ask him questions about his musical experiences. Janett Grose, Director of Children’s Programs was equally delighted that her long-time family friend was able to share his talent and knowledge with the children of Carver. She stated “I have known Haile for years and I just jumped at the opportunity to have him perform for the children. Here at Carver, we always want to share experiences with the children that would normally not be accessible to them. A musical performance that involves cultural and historical elements is certainly one of the unique experiences our children witness.”
Please feel free watch the video clip of Haile Israel’s performance.
