Watershed, one of South Africa‟s favourite home-grown bands, has released a new single "Believe" -- a song inspired by the children who pass through the care of the Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Foundation (WSPCF).
The WSPCF was founded by Dr. Robin Kinsley in 2003, together with the Sisulu family and Netcare as founding partners, to provide life-saving surgery to underprivileged children with congenital heart disorders from across Africa.
The foundation‟s patrons include former president Nelson Mandela, and United Nations Global Messenger of Peace, HRH Princess Haya Al Hussein of Jordan.
"It‟s a fact that 1 in 100 babies worldwide is born with congenital heart defects," says WSPCF CEO Lynda Bleazard. "95% of these can be easily corrected. Sadly, only 20% of babies and children in SA, and less than 1% on the continent of Africa, have access to any such life- saving treatment."
Based in Johannesburg, the Foundation has provided hundreds of life-saving surgeries, performed at the Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, and the Netcare Christian Barnard Memorial and Red Cross War Memorial Children‟s Hospitals in Cape Town.
"There are currently an estimated 2,800 children with cardiac defects on South Africa‟s public sector waiting list, and in the rest of Africa that number is conservatively estimated at 350,000 children. Without surgery they will die. We rely heavily on the generosity of our corporate sponsors, partners and individuals to make financial donations to allow us to continue to fund the life-saving cardiac surgery for these children," Lynda says.
Craig was inspired to kick-start the „Believe‟ project during a visit to the WSPCF‟s paediatric cardiac unit in Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg.
"I‟ve always failed to understand the concept of „when it‟s your time, it‟s your time‟, particularly when it comes to children" says Watershed front man Craig Hinds. "When I met with the team at the WSPCF, I saw that they are giving more time to children who would otherwise have no access to the critical medical care that they need to survive."
"After Lynda Bleazard, the CEO of the Foundation, asked us if we would be interested in working with them, the answer was a resounding „yes‟ -- and writing and recording „Believe‟ was the best way we knew how," he continued.
Craig wrote „Believe‟ with the concepts of belief, opportunity and possibility in mind. "The WSCPF is giving children the possibility, the real possibility of living a long life," says Craig. "Thanks to the dedication of everyone involved in this miracle of a foundation, there will be nothing in the world that these children can‟t believe in."

Boa música, ótima essa banda, a música parece que foi feita ou foi usada para a campanha de uma clínica Sul-Africana que trata de crianças com problemas cardiácos. Cada país tem seus meios de veiculação, já no nosso querido Brasil uma campanha dessas teriamos é claro apoio da Rede Globo com seus pagodeiros, lembrando que pagóde liga a cerveja, churrasco, torresmo etc. Mesmo sendo para campanha desse intuito. "Reparem"

Parabéns Watershed.
