Last summer, Peach took part in something she had never done before: the translation of orchestra pieces into bBaille notes. But it’s only a small part of what it takes to play an instrument when you can’t even see.

In between playing with elephants, running around museums and scuba diving, 15 year old Peach ended up as a volunteer to tutor the members of the Thai Blind Orchestra. She's been playing the violin since elementary school, and now takes the 3 hour ride to Khao Yai every few months to spend a weekend with the 32 visually and emotionally impaired children who showed her the meaning of determination. When not fretting over school or how the Violin 1 section held their bows, Peach can be found turning over rocks, looking for beetles and moths, or jamming to video game soundtracks. She has lived in Thailand all her life.
