ARMS Rocks for Haiti!

Amherst Regional Middle School Holds Benefit Concert for Opportunities for Communities, Inc.

On May 25, 2010 the Amherst Regional Middle School hosted a concert, called ARMS Rocks for Haiti!, to benefit OfC and the work that we do in Haiti.  

The concert included performances by students and teachers from the middle school.  Students on Team Indigo (seventh grade) worked hard to plan and organize this event to benefit OfC and the sold out crowd saw some wonderful performances from some amazing young people.

Special thanks to ARMS teacher Michael Lawrence-Riddell who really ROCKS and brought the event to life.  Thanks to the ARMS Rocks for Haiti! Advisory group: Clover, Quinn, Liam, Zach, Sajo and John.  Thanks also to the Team Indigo Teachers, Principal Hayes, Mr. Ranen, all the performers, technical crew, everyone who attended . . .

 

 

Opportunities for Communities, Inc. (OfC) is a non-profit educational organization providing instructional courses and related field projects to students interested in learning about sustainable development. OfC students work closely with instructors, advisors and target community members to plan, implement, manage and evaluate programs that enhance the capabilities of communities and improve the quality of their environments such that the communities, over time, improve their ability to independently support and sustain themselves.

 

OfC achieves its goal by providing instruction and experiential learning opportunities to a community of young people (junior high through college age) in Western Massachusetts. Students are guided and challenged by qualified and experienced instructors and financially and technically supported by the community of adult experts and donors. Sustainable development programs are designed and implemented in carefully selected target communities ranging from poor domestic to Third World communities. OfC brings these three communities together to help students acquire unique and practical skills.
