The outlook is drafted with a focus of “integrating relationships with music”. We hope to
extend MAP’s coverage to secondary school students, which allows collaboration across
different age groups (eg. older children pairing up with younger ones in service and
performance visits). Furthermore, music groups established in the first year will be
empowered to represent MAP to connect with other service targets: Program Consolidation in

organization. PMF organizes events via music that serve 4 core values: “Music to
Heal, Music to Serve, Music to Inspire, Music to Enjoy.” Through the “Music Angel
Program”, PMF arranges performance visits to touch lives through music sharing,
bringing hope and care to the needy ones.

Ministries in Project Watoto 2010 that included two charity concerts and a house-
