Last week, the PS22 Chorus of 2010 joined forces with some other choirs across the world to help contribute to a project to raise money for Haiti Relief.

Excerpts from the Press Release:

CHOIRS COME TOGETHER IN A VIDEO TO SING "A BRIGHTER WAY" TO RAISE FUNDS FOR URGENT HAITI RELIEF

The zyOzy Foundation today announced the release of the Brighter Way Haiti Choir Project video across all social media outlets.

In January, Amy Carol Wolff, an Indiana University graduate student specializing in non-profit manangement, zyOzy collegiate advisory partner and song composer, issued a call to choirs in January to do an original video recording of her composition, "A Brighter Way," an inspirational, musical "call to action," which, as Wolff states, "is a powerful statement of rising up, serving and bringing hope to those who need it."

Wolff conceived the idea of a global choir initiative after family friends miraculously survived and escaped the deadly earthquake, which struck Haiti about a month ago. By a miracle they all were found alive.

Five choirs joined the movement, bringing hundreds of young people together for haiti. The choirs include Uganda Rural Fund Childrens' Choir, the Crescendo Chorus of Connecticut, the famed Voices of Eve 'n Angels -- the Voena Childrens' Choir of California, the Pacoima Singers of California, and the PS22 Chorus of Staten Island, NY.

With the help of Byron Campbell from Firelight media Group, all of the videos were put together to create a dynamic and inspiring media piece for the people of Haiti and those looking to continue to champion this country's recovery. You can view the video on the Brighter Way Haiti Choir Citizen Effect project page: http://citizeneffect.org/projects/brighterwaychoir_haitirelief , where they are accepting donations for CARE's Haiti Relief efforts on behalf of the project.

Wolff and the zyOzy Foundation team are looking to raise over $30,000 for CARE's relief effort in Haiti. "CARE has a long history of work in Haitiand their people are extremely focused on providing for basic needs," Dan Morrison, CEO of Citizen Effect, "they are committed to providing water, food and shelter for the people of Haiti."

Brilliant. also not only are you helping the people of Haiti you are showing those kids that though they are small they can do their share in helping the world. bravo!

Kids - amazing, and the same no matter where they are. Think about this. We took music out of most schools because no funding for the arts. How about a 1 cent federal tax that can only go to bringing back the arts to schools. Just 1 cent on a bottle of booze to bring music back to the schools. Well worth the penny don't you think?
