Provide Therapy for Disabled Children

New Directions believes that people who have disabilities deserve the same opportunities in life that others expect and enjoy. Our profoundly enriching travel programs expand the self-esteem of every traveler. Whole new worlds of understanding open for both participants and the general population. Through these unique programs, people with disabilities are increasingly understood, appreciated and accepted as important and contributing members of our world. Changing the way the world views disability— one adventure at a time.

Founded in 2004, Bach With Verse brings hope, inspiration and laughter through music and stories to war-torn and remote areas, and prison populations. To fulfill this mission, BWV presents double bassist Richard “Dobbs” Hartshorne in outreach concerts for all ages in schools, orphanages, prisons, refugee camps, rehabilitation and community centers throughout the world. Performances are crafted with a unique blend of classical music and humorous musical stories that are easily accessible to diverse audiences. BWV programs have reached West Bank Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, South Africa, Bolivia, Uganda and prisons throughout the United States.

Description Many Ottawa residents have good quality furniture and furnishings that are surplus to their needs. Every week we collect and deliver these household items. Often we arrive to empty rooms; our task is to leave them furnished and to leave our new neighbours feeling welcomed, and hopeful. Everything we do for them is free. Helping with Furniture is totally staffed and operated by volunteers. It costs us less than $150.00 to furnish a home completely.
