"It is incredibly rewarding to work on our projects and see how they have changed the lives of individuals and communities."

“I love bringing people together through the joy of music while taking action based on our common humanity.”

"At Motherland Rhythm Community, we understand the positive impact of major initiatives as well as smaller projects.  Something that seems less significant, like providing seeds and hand tools for a village garden, can improve the quality of life for many who are struggling to feed their families."

"I love being a part of making a positive and empowering change in the world."

“I love being involved in helping to solve essential problems in the lives of people in Guinea — access to clean water, health care, educational opportunities — things we tend to take for granted in our country.”

"As a teacher, I believe it’s important to educate ourselves about inequalities on a global scale and then take advantage of opportunities to help.  Through Motherland Rhythm Community, I know I’m making a positive difference in the world."

"It is a dream of mine to be able to help the people of my country and reduce their suffering."

"I am honored to teach our traditional music to visitors and to help the younger generations of artist in Guinea learn the music as well."

Lion is committed to being a part of whatever project is happening and considers himself essential to it's success!
