Help Playing For Change Foundation

MissPennyLane · February 2012

Hi everyone!

not sure if this is the right place to post this but I am doing an internship with Playing For Change Foundation and basically we are dedicated to helping children who suffer from extreme poverty through music education. The foundation has built 7 music schools in places like South Africa, Ghana, Nepal and Mali to ensure any child with the desire to receive music education and play an instrument will have the opportunity to do so.

What's so special is each school truly belongs to its community. Materials and labor for the buildings are locally sourced, instruments are made by local artists, classes are taught by local teachers, and community members run and own the school. The community plays a huge part in the success of these schools.

I am asking if you guys could help us win money to provide more for the children, all we need is your vote! Cultivate Wines is running a contest with non-profit organizations throughout the country and the winner with the most votes will receive $50,000 dollars. All you have to do is click and vote! We would really appreciate it.

Here is the contest link to vote along with more information about what we want to do with the money if we win:

And if you don't want to vote, that's okay too. Regardless, I thought it could be a good opportunity to bring awareness to the Pearl Jam fans about the organization. if you are interested in learning more about Playing For Change Foundation and what they're all about, check it out:
