Evan has come to UNMC’s Camp Monroe since he was in elementary school. It’s a summer camp for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
But when the group called Band of The Strong played on Wednesday he came alive when one of his favorite songs was played, Three Little Birds.

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) For Zach Schafer, and countless other children and teens, music is more than notes strung together and art is more than the flick of a paintbrush.
They re tools to help youth cope with loss and other challenges through a nonprofit called Band of the Strong.
Schafer is the president and executive director. During their events, music is played and listened to, and art is made. We provide programming to help kids process through some of the most challenging parts of their lives by telling stories and connecting with each other as a way to create significant meaningful moments all for the purpose of rerouting loss into love,â said Schafer.
