Ms Shivani Dhillon said, “Djimbe Drums are traditional drums
from Africa . Drumming can be a powerful tool
to support children with special needs to help them address their social and
communication needs, fine and gross motor skills. They also enhance their
cognitive skills.”
Children with special needs sat together and played the drums.
The community is encouraged to play the drums alongside the children and lead
by example. A 7-member band “Flowing Karma” also joined in on their
wheelchairs and played at this event. This band is currently under going
rehabilitation at the Spinal Rehab Center
