We encourage participants to practice at home and meet with others to play together outside of meetings. 

ENGLISH is our working language.  Meetings and songs are mostly in English.
We have a WhatsApp group, in English, where we share ukulele related announcements, songs and chord sheets.

World Press Freedom 2023



As proclaimed by the United Nations in 1993, World Press Freedom Day (May 3) honors the freedom to seek, impart, and receive information--and its connection to the public good.   

Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people. VOA produces content for digital, television, and radio platforms. It is easily accessed via your mobile phone and on social media. It is also distributed by satellite, cable, FM and MW, and is carried on a network of approximately 3,000 affiliate stations.

Since its creation in 1942, Voice of America has been committed to providing comprehensive coverage of the news and telling audiences the truth. Through World War II, the Cold War, the fight against global terrorism, and the struggle for freedom around the globe today, VOA exemplifies the principles of a free press.
