Music teaches me how to listen and
understand situations in my life.
I can sing and dance to express what I
like and what I don’t like. And I like that we are always together as a
family.

Welcome
to Harmony, Hope & Healing!
HARMONY, HOPE & HEALING is a creative music
program offering dignity and spiritual healing to the
homeless and underserved in the Chicago area. The initial project was initiated by
Margaret Nykaza as volunteer work and has grown to
serve six sites in the Chicago Area.
Harmony, Hope and Healing's (HHH) basic music program
includes musical, educational, therapeutic,
spiritual, creative and performance components.
The goals for the HHH Program are to:
·
Integrate
music into daily life experiences of those we
serve;
·
Provide opportunities to experience healing and
spirituality through music;
·
Build self esteem and confidence;
·
Enable the learning process through music;
·
Offer a safe place to uncover and/or discover participant’s own authentic voice; and;
·
Provide experiences that invite participants to
sense beauty and harmony within themselves and
in the world around them.
·
Our ultimate
goal is to use music as a healing tool and a
vehicle to enhance life skills while improving
overall quality of life.
The clients are
from The Institute of Women which includes
Maria Shelter, a short-term shelter for women and
children and the Vincennes Senior Center, a
community center for seniors in the Englewood area;
St. Martin de Porres House of Hope, a long-term
