War Child

I am BEYOND excited to be able to partner with this incredible organization that supports education for children and mothers in war-affected communities. Over the last decade, 20 million children have been forced to flee their homes because of conflict and human rights violations, often times putting children years behind in school. Education is critical for all families. But for those living with war, it can be life saving. Being able to read safety instructions, to understand the direction on a child’s medicine or being able to add up prices at the market are all life-changing skills. However, years of violence can leave schools in pieces, transportation dangerous, and teachers in short supply. It can halt children’s education for years. War Child is restoring every child’s right to learn in these areas by pioneering new delivery methods, adapting curriculums, and training new educators.

Personally, songwriting changed my life and was one of the most powerful vehicles of healing and therapy when I felt like my own world was falling apart. War Child also uses the arts as an important part of their education process and I am excited to go on the field with them at some point soon and be able to participate in the extraordinary things they are doing and bring my passion and experience in music education and healing. Until then, ten percent of everything I earn through my music will go towards supporting War Child and arts education/therapy for people around the world, specifically refugees.
