Sunday's Words for the Week

I was recently introduced to a Vienna, Virginia based organization called One Voice. Wow, talk about a difference maker! I'm totally impressed with founder Robbie Schaefer and his mission to "unite children through music and creative expression empowering them to build a just, peaceful and wonder filled world".


We are a passionate community of creators, communicators, and doers, devoted to cultivating and illuminating the creative sparkle in children everywhere.  Oh, and we intend to change the world.
-Robbie Schaefer

 

The One Voice organization is changing the world and allowing children to play an integral part in the process. The One Voice LaLaLove kid-powered campaign raised over $27,000 to build a school in Tanzania.  Schools, churches and boyscout/girlscout groups across the country participated in this musical fundraiser. Children got to experience how they can use their creativity to connect with others around the world and  make a difference.
