A former school-teacher passionate about education, Orit is dedicated to facilitating self-expression in others.  When not writing, recording and performing her own songs, she has done public speaking, put on workshops in schools and community centres, and written customised-songs for those who wish to share their owns stories through music.

 Most recently, Orit has participated in a local Winnipeg program called Stories to Song, where she was matched up with two seniors.

One of the organisers, Grant Simpson, had this to say:

".... wonderful work you have done on these projects Orit.  You embody the spirit of this project and I am so so so glad I asked you to do the first one so we could learn just how awesome you are at your craft. "

You can view footage of these magical encounters, the process and the result in these two videos below.
