Music as a Motivational Catalyst.

The author describes situations where music has been regarded as a motivational catalyst to perform a challenging deed. Topics explored include the commitment demonstrated by two Sudanese locals in building a church that would allow them to sing praises to God in the midst of the conflict in Sudan, the way music served as inspiration in achieving freedom for some migrant youth in Peru, and the participation of a young female artist in a music therapy program to heal her trauma.
