Looking for
a change? Looking for
a challenge?
Do you
drum to a Palestinian
beat?
Are you
ready for a life-changing
opportunity?
A
samba trainer…
We are
looking for
a professional
percussionist with
samba experience
to coach beginner
samba groups
in Palestine.
The position
is voluntary
with expenses
(flight, accommodation,
food, local
transportation) covered
for two
months, starting
in January
2013.
…to teach talented
young Palestinians…
You will work
with young
people who
have drive
and ambition
but no
opportunities. Many
young people
in the samba groups have
suffered emotional
trauma, and
almost all
are deeply
affected by
the on-going
occupation.
…as
part of
a community
music project
in Palestine…
Music
Bus Goes
Middle East
is a
project of
Musicians without Borders and Holy Land Trust. It uses community
music to
address problems
in the
conflict-ridden society
in Palestine.
Our music
and nonviolence
training projects
and activities
for children
are enormously
successful throughout
the West
Bank. In 2012 we
expanded the
project with
rap and
samba activities
for youth.
We are now looking for a samba trainer to guide the groups in
improving their musical skills.
…and
make a
difference!
Do not
underestimate the
challenge. You
need to be
able to
maintain control
of a
roomful of
young men
and women
(age 16-24).
Palestine can be a challenging place to live and work because of the
ongoing occupation, poverty and cultural issues.
You will
need to
be able
to inspire
the youths
as well
as coach
them, and
display a
high degree
of cultural
sensitivity.
How
To Apply?
Please
send us
your CV
and a
letter explaining
your motivation
before December
1 2012.
Short-listed candidates
will be
contacted and
invited for
a Skype
interview with
the local
project manager.
