Youth is often described as a whirlwind of passion, particularly, when ignited by purpose. Embodying this spirit is Krish Lambah: an 17-year-old Mumbaikar, who defies typical teenage stereotypes. His days are not consumed with trying to stay relevant on social media or fretting over climate change. While most of his (Gen Z) peers are busy navigating adolescence, he is focused on a higher calling: to impart music lessons to children from low-income communities in Mumbai.
What sets this initiative apart is the use of a mobile bus to deliver music lessons. As the bus journeys through the slums of southern Mumbai, it will provide 40-minute learning sessions to children of those regions aged between 4-13. With trained teachers on the ride, young learners will get a chance to explore musical instruments like keyboards, guitars, ukuleles, djembes, tabla and a wide array of percussion tools. Once the 40 minutes are up, the bus will move on to a different location and halt there for the next class.
