Dimitri Godur

When Dimitri Godur was 12, he heard his parents talking about the country’s economic challenges and potential cuts to school arts programs. Dimitri couldn’t imagine losing his school’s music program, so he took action.

He started Strings 2 Strum in 2010 to secure string instruments, refurbish them as needed, and donate them to schools and community centers across the country in need of instruments for classroom instruction. To date, he has been able to donate 100 percent of all the money he has collected toward the purchase of instruments.
