The purpose of Harmonikids is to provide harmonicas to special needs children (i.e., disabled, handicapped, abused, neglected, orphaned, underprivileged, traumatized, emotionally disturbed, retarded, autistic, hospitalized, suffering from an illness or disease, requiring medical care, terminally ill) and teach them to play simple songs through gentle instruction. This provides both an educational and entertaining activity for children with tremendous physical and emotional challenges.
