Halabja Communal Boys’ College of Stirling Schools invited well-known American musician and activist, Dobbs- real name Richard Hartshorne, to visit our students and give a concert with the school’s music teacher.

Mr Hartshorne spent joyful time together with our students; they shared experiences and enjoyed the music.

We would like to thank Dobbs for this inspiring visit and his support for education.

Solo Double Bassist “Dobbs” (real name Richard Hartshorne b. 1943) has been playing only in places where there otherwise would not be music since 2004. Places like prisons in the US and Uganda, refugee camps and UN schools in Palestine, drug rehab centers in the US and Afghanistan, drop-in centers for street children in Uganda, for AIDS orphans in South Africa, remote villages in Bolivia, centers for abused women and homes for blind children in Iraq.
