Bringing Eduaction through Arts To the World

BEATWorld, Inc is a 501 (c) 3, Texas Non-Profit Organization created by New York University Music Business student, Laura Donkervoet. After spending a summer in Rundu, Namibia, Laura realized music is not only an inspiration to her but to many people around the world. The arts can easily motivate further education of all kinds. It was with this realization that the concept for this non-profit organization developed, Bringing Education through Arts To the World. Since creating this organization, she has been joined by two other New York University students, Dana John and Mark Martin.
BEATWorld, Inc has a five-point mission that utilizes the power of the arts:
• Improve basic health and economic well-being of individuals through education
• Assist people in poor, distressed and underprivileged areas of the world, both domestic and international, to become self-sufficient
• Inspire youth and young adults to action by organizing the funding and completion of time-specific projects
• Provide professionals an opportunity to respond to a specific need through a mission-consistent project
• Recognize problems, research solutions and respond accordingly
Build a Library, Strengthen a Nation
BEATWorld, Inc.’s first project will be “Build a Library, Strengthen a Nation”. Working with Rundu Senior Secondary School in the Kavango Region of Namibia, the project currently aims to renovate and stock a library with books, materials, and equipment to create an English language center for the school’s 1,023 students, ranging in age from 12 to 25, to practice English speaking and listening skills, as English is the official language of Namibia.
BEATWorld, Inc. will promote the development, implementation and evaluation of unique teaching curricula that integrate students’ love of music with language development to engage students in an innovative and purposeful manner. Specifically, popular music will be paired with traditional teaching methods to create interactive lessons to improve grammar, pronunciation, comprehension and other language skills.
