Haitian students play drums and strum guitars to escape hunger and gang violence

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Woodberson Seïde held his stepsister's hand as they walked through Haiti 's capital on their way to an afterschool music program. Once he arrived at the school that hosts the program, 11-year-old Woodberson didn't think much about how he sometimes eats once a day. Across Port-au-Prince, hundreds of children like Woodberson are playing percussion, piano and bass guitar to drown out the violence and hunger around them.
