"My Getaway" earthquake relief video
>> Mar 3, 2010
I put together this video set to my song "My Getaway" set to images of the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti. I had written it in a dark period of despair in my life yet the song is ultimately about hope looking forward. Net proceeds from this song will be donated to World Vision's relief efforts.
As a World Vision artist associate, I get direct updates about work on the ground in disaster affected areas. Unfortunately, there's probably some charity and earthquake coverage fatique and though the death toll is not as great in Chile, it's significant as is the damage. Many of the poor areas that World Vision has been working in for the past 30 years were hit hardest.
"World Vision began distributing hundreds of blankets and some water containers to Santiago's earthquake survivors over the weekend in preparation to start an extensive response in the hardest hit
areas south of the capital. Many of the communities where we already work--including Lota City, Temuco, Concepcion and other areas in the Bio region and the La Araucania region--were close to the devastating quake's epicenter."
