I am writing you today about a very important matter that needs our immediate attention. Did you know that 24,000 people will die today of starvation? Mothers will watch thier children die, children will see thier parents die, and lovers will lose each other. These are people and families JUST like us!
Now there is a way that we can TRULY make a difference. There is a new website: http://www.soundaid.org that I am imploring you to check out. Various unsigned artists have donated thier music. You can download an EP for the small contribution of $5.00. ALL of the proceeds from the site will go to the Heifer Foundation. (http://www.heifer.org) From the moment that I heard about the Heifer Foundation I was sold on their concept. Funds raised are used to give families a food source rather than short term relief. Instead of a cup of milk the families get a cow, a flock of hens, or rabbits. This gives them self reliance through a sustainable source of food and income. The female offspring are passed along to other needy families so your gift is a gift that keeps giving.
If you are an artist, please consider donating your music to the cause. Just think....your songs could comfort a hungry child for the days to come. Not just one child, but many. So please come by Sound Aid and sign on. Everyone and anyone is welcome to come by the site, listen to some music clips from some GREAT artists, donate and download. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. One last favor...PLEASE pass this message along to your friends on your e-mail list. What a blessing that would be! Together we can heal world hunger one song at a time. Thank you so very much and God bless you.
