The Sol Adventurers work with youth to enhance creativity through music, art, writing and movement

Music has made a difference for Sol Adventurers, a non-profit organization committed to empowering young people even as they struggle with crippling diseases or face the challenges that come from growing up in homeless shelters in Los Angeles or orphanages in Jamaica.
The empowerment comes when the children discover their personal gifts and share them with the world, according to Roseanne Ware, founder of the group, which is known simply as Sol, which means sunshine in Spanish. The idea, Ware says, is to teach youths how to seek more hopeful destiny for themselves.
Ware has some experience on seeking hope amid hard times. Her own life took an unexpected twist four years ago after a vicious pit bull nearly proved fatal.
"I found strength and inner gifts from a near-death encounter," she says. "It came to me that I was supposed to be empowering those in need to discover their gifts and to follow that path to reach their full potential, mentoring and helping them to get the necessary resources to do so."
According to Ware, the name Sol Adventurers came to her from a line in the Bob Marley's song "Soul Rebel".
"It was a perfect fit because this is precisely what we are doing — adventuring into each youth's soul to help them find their gift," she says, adding that she drew strength and inspiration through the positive images of reggae music and the overarching influence of Marley's work.
The connection to reggae is one reason that Ware has extended the Sol Adventures program to rural Jamaica.
"Despite horrific conditions of poverty and violence, many inspirational artists such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Israel Vibrations and others were able to discover their gifts and share them with the world," she says.

The Sol Adventurers' goal is to teach youth how to seek more hopeful destiny for themselves
Back at her home base, Sol Adventurers' is currently working on an LA Conservation Corp after-school program at Henry Clay Middle School in South Los Angeles. The six-week curriculum gives students hands-on, interactive sessions that encompass visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning style to enhance creativity through music, art, writing and movement. The objective is to teach students about African history and the impact it has on the global community. Music, basic gardening skills and the exploration of students' cultural roots all combine to help them unearth their gifts.
It's a big change for Ware, who attended Loyola University of Chicago and obtained a masters degree in clinical social work. She has worked in the social work and psychology field for 17 years, and she used to work for an elite list of clients enough resources to pursue just about any direction life.
Now Ware is dedicated to bringing new opportunities to individuals with far fewer options, counting on private donations, funding from local after-school programs, and fundraising activities to keep the program going. She says she's also working on a compilation CD of music to offer to donors in hopes of taking the organization's funding level to $250,000.

It is so important for those of us who have received and achieved successes in our lives to give back and provide opportunities for the next generation to achieve success as well. Many in this world do not have the resources available to them that we are privileged to have in this country. Please take a moment to think about our fellow citizen around the world, in particular the children. Have you even imagined what it would be like to be a child without a home to go to, without parents to guide, nurture and protect them, not sure where they will get their next meal or where to go. These children need guidance, support, and encouragement so they can flourish just like you and me.

It is important that we take time out our busy schedules and give back so that we can make a difference in the world. I have been involved for the last few years with an uplifting global non-profit organization called Sol Adventurers Foundation, Inc. We have been empowering and uplifting troubled youth in shelters in the Los Angeles area and in orphanages in Jamaica. Our mission is to empower the youth to discover their gifts, share them with the world and to gain strength through reconnecting with their community. The corporation facilitates and provides services through education, advocacy and empowerment. My work with this organization has been quite inspiring; seeing the difference that we can be made in the life of a child. Sol Adventurers Foundation is really filling a gap through addressing the psychological and developmental needs that are often neglected. This organization assists kids in building skills so that they can be self-empowered and self-sustainable.

Bring about a positive change today! Maybe you don’t have time yourself to visit a 3rd world country and mentor a child but through your tax deductible donation you will be helping several children to be mentored, educated, supported, encouraged and even to make sure that they have a pair of shoes on their feet. We all have gifts to offer the world. Some are able to assist through financial means; others offer skills and talents to the world. We all can give in some way. You can help by making a financial contribution so much needed services can be offered to those children who are struggling to survive each day, still maintaining a bright smile and grateful that they got to see the sun rise on another day.
