Kafui Dansou is raising money for OrKidstra - Sistema Ottawa

Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2026 · 23 May 2026 to 24 May 2026 ·

OrKidstra is an Ottawa-based social development program that empowers kids from equity-deserving communities by teaching life skills – such as teamwork, commitment, respect and pride in achievement – through the universal language of music.

Story

Hey Hey Hey... I am doing it !!!

** I am doing a half-marathon to support an awesome cause **

And I would be so grateful if you could help me support OrKidstra. Every year, this social-development program gives wings to hundreds of kids, through the power of music.

OrKidstra provides free instruments and music lessons to children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds in the Ottawa region. But, really, what it does is much more than that.

When these children learn to sing and play together, they develop new talents, learn important life skills, and are also given a chance to dream bigger.

Every time I saw them play (including when they played with the NAC orchestra in February 2025), it was memorable. I felt such uplifting energy and... the purest form of hope.

So, on May 24th, I am doing it ! And, if you can, please donate and let us help open up their world of possibilities !!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart !
