Welcome to the Marc Bolan School of Music! 
The Light Of Love Foundation UK, wants, as Marc Bolan did, to inspire children, to give them the chance to learn to play musical instruments, to write, to compose, to produce records and to be heard by the world. To achieve this we are building a music school for the children of Sierra Leone, West Africa, in the town of Makeni. Please help us make this happen soon.  We want to see the hearts and minds of these children filled with creativity and excitement, with plans and dreams and a deep faith in their own realised ability.

The Light Of Love Foundation UK is a listed Charity,
Our Charity Number is: 1164256

Notice:
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is one of the deadliest the world has ever seen and the consequences in places like Makeni have been devastating.

"Light of love" single by school students now available to buy!

Light of Love is the brand new single performed by students of The Marc Bolan School of Music in Sierra Leone, together with students from the Darwen School of Music in the UK.
All proceeds go towards providing musical equipment for the Marc Bolan School of Music.
In 2020, The Marc Bolan School of Music in Sierra Leone is celebrating a new partnership with Darwen School of Music in the UK. You can now buy a copy of our new joint single 'Light of Love', written by Marc Bolan and featuring students from both schools, with all proceeds going towards new musical equipment for The Marc Bolan School of Music.Many of the students who attend the school in Sierra Leone live in extreme poverty and the school desperately needs new equipment to deliver their lessons. For the orphans that attend, The Marc Bolan School of Music gives them hope, joy and a platform for their talents.The CD also features an original song, 'Unity', written and performed by one of our music students, Prince Kamara from Sierra Leone as well as a bonus version of 'Light of Love' and an interview with founders of both schools: Gloria Jones, Paul Stuart Davies and Mark Bateson.

OUR NEW KEH KEH HAS ARRIVED!

Thanks to your amazing love & support our brand new Marc Bolan School Taxi has arrived, and we think it looks fantastic! We were able to purchase this Keh Keh thanks to the recent fundraising campaign we launched with all our freinds on facebook, and now our Orphans no longer have to walk at least two miles each way to school and back. We are especially proud of this essential contribution to the school, and we think it looks amazing with all the details on the sides, & on the bumpers!!!

NEW PHOTOS JANUARY 2020

It has been an inspiring year, with so many of our students have made incredible progress.  Different film crews trained in our school have filmed documentaries on the status of women in Sierra Leone - visited Ghana and documented their experiences; travelled far beyond our own school grounds to villages in the bush to spread the word and talents of the Marc Bolan School Of Music & FIlm.  

Our ever growing number of students all attend our singing & instrumental classes.  Our drama students not only prepare through exercises & group co-ordination, but also write film and produce their own multi-media, under the tutelage of experienced and professional instructors.  Songs written by our students have been heard across Sierra Leone through a number of radio networks.  All of these successes tell us that what we are doing is right, effective, works, inspires and motivates our students.
We have been visited Mr Paul Davis from the Darwen school of music in Blackburn UK, and he more than thrilled by our very positive and achieving community.

Help us build and achieve more.  We need £100,000 to build the beautiful, especially designed Marc Bolan School building. Please donate now via our Paypal button below, or via the Global Giving link.

'Hi, Gloria Jones here. Thank you all so much for your interest and support for our project, to build The Marc Bolan School of Music in Makeni, Sierra Leone. The project is growing, in exciting ways, and we have just made a very big step towards building the school!  I have been negotiating with people here who support us, and believe me, the news is good! Keep giving, keep supporting our children, our teachers. Help us to make more music! We will have our very own place, a building to be proud of. This school will be at the heart of the community, to inspire and to serve. Keep Marc’s music in your hearts, and see his wonderful legacy grow in a beautiful way.'
