BBG Group Makes Donation to Ukulele Fund

We are pleased to announce a generous donation that resulted in the purchase of 12 ukuleles! The BBG Group Inc. Fabricio Nobre, CEO, recently made a generous contribution to support Uncle Henry Kamae and the ukulele instruction courses offered to many students, part of NPIEN's school outreach program. This year, Uncle Henry met with students st Davis Middle School and Roosevelt Middle School in the Compton Unified School District, and Stanford Middle School in the Long Beach Unified School District. Uncle Henry is also a workshop instructor at NPIEN's annual education conference. Mahalo BBG Group!

The music classes are popular with all students and teachers, and teach Pacific Islander students and their friends about music and culture.

Each ukulele costs $40, and we also thank Morey's Music of Lakewood, CA for their generous discount. See the NPIEN website home page for information on how to receive a discount from Morey's.
