What is MUSIC FOR RELIEF? Music for Relief is

artists, music industry professionals, and fans working together to create positive change.

Participants in this project do their best to support great disasters victims, like the tsunami that struck Japan this year, and fight against global warming, which is becoming more and more dangerous

Foundation The Music For Relief

project was founded by Linkin Park band members in 2005 after the catastrophical tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004

Foundation The tsunami caused

the death of at least 230.000 people most of them in Indonesia, Shri Lanka , India and Thailand

Millions of people were left homeless, lost their land by the waves and a great number of children died or lost their parents

Foundation Therefore Linkin

Park founded Music for Relief to help those people. Their concept was that if they donated money, other artists and their fans would do so

With this in mind, they started reaching out to others in the music community to get involved and became the founders of Music For Relief.

This means lots of more fresh air ,clean water and habitats for wildlife animals and is of great signifance nowadays that many species are endangered with extinction due to the lack of shelter for them

Website idea Still there are lots of

things that have not been mentioned and for this reason I suggest visiting http://www.musicforrelief.org

Also I believe that the creation of a column it in our blog that would be kept up-to-date and solely devoted to it might actually encourage more people to take part and I think it is worth it

Note this was just a sample, if you want to learn more about this agree in creating the column
