Milana Nazarenko’s dream has come true. She arrived from Russia and has been fighting for her life for years. She has undergone very difficult operations: removal of an eye, brain surgery to remove a tumour, removal of the brow bone and a transplant of the muscle that holds the eyebrow. There have also been long courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Her love of music and curiosity have helped distract and support her on this hard journey. At first, she drew and invented characters, giving them names. When we visited, she showed us her work. Then she became interested in string instruments. She asked her parents for a ukulele and taught herself to play. Next came the acoustic guitar, and a dream of a blue electric guitar. We fulfilled that dream with exactly that: a blue electric guitar and an amplifier. Though shy, Milana not only played for us, but sang too. She sings beautifully! As the saying goes, talent shines in many ways.
