"It amazes me that not only do I get to the
privelege of seeing lives transform before my eyes but also that most of the students, parents and teachers have remarkable
relationships. Most of the students at Charis have been coming for many years. That these students no longer have any fear
of the stage, singing in front of large audiences, speaking in public- conquering the very thing that is feared by most"
