Muscatine Kosovo Project

In 2003 the Muscatine (Iowa) Children’s and Youth Choirs initiated an exchange program with youth in war-torn Gjakovë, Kosovo. The Kosovar youth participate in the Kosovo Children’s Music Initiative, which is sponsored by the Shropshire Music Foundation. In 2004, 12 youths from Gjakovë spent two weeks in and around Muscatine. On July 25, 2005, 32 Muscatine residents including choir members departed for a two-week journey to Gjakovë, Kosovo. This is our story.

Public Report and MRE Night

On Friday, August 19, 2005, participants in the Muscatine Kosovo Project gathered at Wesley United Methodist Church for public report and performance for the community and for our "MRE Supper." Scores of people attende the public event which included choir performances, a DVD slide show from Anne Olson, a PowerPoint I prepared with the help of Keith Porter, and personal accounts from several participants.

Many thanks to everyone who attended!
