Come to the water.....


My fiance, Jenny, showed me this amazing website called CompassionArt ! If you haven't heard about it or seen it you need to check it out. It is truly inspiring. It is a group of artists who are trying to bridge the gap between some of the poorest places in the world with YOU!

Here is a direct quote from one of the founders of the group: ".......So CompassionArt was born, a charity dedicated to seeing works of art generate income for the poorest of the poor. So these songs that will be written in Scotland in January will be owned by the charity meaning that every penny will come to it and the trust will own these copyrights forever. The publishers, the managers, the agents and the writers have waived all their rights to see something historic happen, the music business coming together for something great, something that is about something greater than any individual could achieve."

The website is very thorough and explains, in detail, what extreme poverty really is. Oh, and the songs that the CompassionArt group has written will blow you away. The lyrics alone caused Jenny to tear up. She would give her right arm to be back in Brazil, where she spent 2 years of her life back in high school. Check out these videos...listen to the lyrics....





I hope you have the chance to check out the Website at http://www.compassionart.tv/
