"The most awe inspiring benefit of working with NC AIA, is watching the transformation of children's lives! The numerous stories of those who walk into the first AIA class with their hoodies pulled tight over their heads never wanting to make eye contact, or those who do not speak or participate, then suddenly, the same students evolve into soloists, narrators, heroes! I have not yet been able to make it through a final performance with a dry eye. My heart and soul burst with pride for these children and what they have been able to overcome."
