Music With A Cause Friday
“On the outskirts of Freetown, there is a very special group of 77 children in the Wellington district of Sierra Leone, West Africa. These children are extraordinary. They are survivors of a long and brutal civil war. Most are orphans because their families were murdered in the conflict. Many children were witnesses to these crimes against humanity and have suffered severe heartache and emotional trauma. Through various circumstances, they have come to reside at the Wellington Orphanage, formerly known as the War Cries Orphanage.
The album entitled, “The World Should Know” was released in December of 2007. It is a collection of songs, stories and sounds from Sierra Leone in the midst of rebuilding. Most of the voices are from the Wellington Orphanage, with the exception of a special song by the Cheshire Polio School for Children and various tribal drumming. Join us in supporting and promoting this CD. Tell two friends!”
These are recordings of actual orphans in Sierra Leone and all proceeds go to help them.

I love this music! There is something very unique about African music, and especially the children.
