Brass band gives boys a lease of life

Yet after the entire rough patch, you are invited to perform as part of a marching band in front of multitudes in America; it sounds too good to be true, isn’t it? But this is the account of five boys from low-income Tlokweng whose footsteps brought them face-to-face with the Ditsheko family in the Village suburb of Gaborone.

It was exactly 15 months ago when the quintet hollered from outside the gate of the Ditsheko home begging for soul food. They got more than what they bargained for as they washed up, each got a set of used clothes and shoes and joined the family for lunch.
