I have helped to organise a fund-raising event annually for the last three years in the Uk for the Playing for Change organisation; primarily because I agree with their philosophy that music is a unifying force and language in a very fragmented world, and secondarily because it is good to see the fruits of this fund-raising benefitting children and young people all over the world through musical education. I know the events we have held in Cumbria (Uk) have been life-changing in a most positive way for all who have participated and attended as well as for all those who have benefitted from the money raised. I hope and trust that Playing for Change will continue to grow and help change the world for the better. Hannah Appleyard
the PFCF is such a blessing, they are doing great work with lots of love, I will be supporting them my whole life, they inspire us to be better every day, and give the opportunity for kids to have music education
You want peace in the world? you want cultural ties that bind! you have to have music! what an effort both on site and in the editing room! each snippet of their musical compilations makes the world a bit smaller, borders less defined, bridges shorter! And then too we are free to enjoy the musical gifts, joy and pleasure of each of the taped participants. I get to see all this right here in my own home space and to have my spirit lifted to a hopeful plain.
