In Venezuela, David France studied El Sistema, a community music education program that brings instruments and instruction to underprivileged kids. Now, David uses the money he makes playing the violin to fund Revolution of Hope, an after-school orchestra he started in the disenfranchised inner-city community of Roxbury, MA. Jose Duarte, principal of Dearborn Middle School, decided to host France's orchestra program at his school, and opened it up to the entire local community. "We are fortunate that we live in a community that has many people who are very interested in supporting schools and supporting kids," Duarte said. "[They] understand that unless and until we support our children, we're not making a better future for ourselves."
