War Child Announces "War Child 10" Charity Album
All proceeds of Thursday's SUPERFRAICHE POP NIGHT will benefit War Child, a worldwide organization that provides humanitarian assistance to kids in war-torn areas around the word. More specifically, my pop night will support the music programs of Artists United for Children and Youth Development (AUCAYD) in Sierra Leone that is aided by War Child.
Now that peace has returned to the small African nation after years of war and destruction, this group of young people use music, drama and dance to spread important social messages to thousands of youth who have experienced the devastation of violence and war. Their work also focuses on HIV prevention and peace-building.
AUCAYD has helped young struggling kids with programs to cope with the effects of war and the group gives them the opportunity to play, dream and plan a future. One of those kids is Sy'rai who fled Sierra Leone in 2002 and settled in Canada. Sy'rai recently travelled back to his home country to record a "Let It Rain" together with AUCAYD for "War Child 10," a brand-new charity album that is sponsored by Universal Music. Check out the video for "Let It Rain" and look for "War Child 10" on December 1 in a digital download store near you.
