Around 100 musical instruments are today being shipped to asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island to help “combat the stress of life in detention”, with the Federal Government covering transport costs.
It’s thanks to charity ‘Music for Refugees’ founder Philip Feinstein, who put out a call for donated instruments several months ago and was “overwhelmed” by the response.
‘Music for Refugees’ was formed 10 years ago and this will be their first delivery to Manus Island and second to Nauru.
The instruments are expected to arrive next week.
