SmoothStream | Make Somebody Happy, Make Somebody Smile

Our members are everywhere

Mar
2012

Since most of our members are students now they migrated to other countries and towns for their further study. To reorganise regular band practice every Sunday seems tough for me if you take into account of my health and time. Some student members entered a very good career path like medicine and dentistry. Some went on to Maths major and biotech. Some got jobs. This is the outcomes I want from doing this SmoothStream project or Musically-driven Mental Health Promotion. The outcomes are measured by economic participation in a new country. This is what mental health promotion is all about. Ronald 09 March 2012

Testimonials

“My father and I have been a part of SmoothStream for a year and a half. My father brings me here every Sunday and he does it mostly for me. Its basically so that I learn more about music and play the guitar and also improve my grades at the same time. My father says this organisation is working towards a very positive cause and there are a lot of good things to learn from music”

“I like to go to the sessions SmoothStream has in the Pakoranga intermediate college. I’ve been attending them every Sunday for just over two years now. I enjoy it because it makes me feel happy and energetic.”
[Andy, Dental Surgeon from Taiwan, Age 47 ]
“I come here every Sunday. Its fun to be a part of the band, I love to sing my cultural songs with them. Everybody has been so encouraging, they really cheer me up.”
[Amy, Taiwanese, Singer, Age 39 ]
“I am very glad to be a part of SmoothStream because it’s a special organisation. I’m a teacher in Rosehill College and I felt honoured when Ronald asked me to help the children with their studies. This way they can continue playing music and cope with the pressure of studies at the same time.”
[Patsy, Taiwanese New Zealander, College Teacher from Rosehill College, Age 25 ]
“I have been a part of SmoothStream for the past two years. I come here with my family. It’s good because we are together playing music and singing and dancing. It’s cool.”
