Hope for Haiti Now

We all know there has been a worldwide support for Haiti. At school we have already cooperated with this cause with the fund raising we had several weeks ago. We are all very proud to see we actually made a difference with our help. People have suffered a terrible lost most of us cannot even imagine, so we should demonstrate we care by being solidarious.

As we at Tec helped Haiti, also many famous singers have. Successful artists like Bono, Jay Z, Madonna, Shakira, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Wyclef Jean, Sting, and Beyoncé among many others, have showed their support for Haiti by recording several songs to create an album called Hope for Haiti Now. Obviously, all the money from this album will be automatically donated. I think we should learn from these selfless people who are working a lot to help the least fortunate. They are trying to show us that no matter what you are good at, you can always help in your own way. I think most of the time people are driven by money. The power that money has nowadays makes us forget from time to time that people are way more important.

Music is an element that homogenizes society. Even if someone doesn’t understand the language, he or she can still like the music. The songs of this album are really beautiful in their music but also in the message they are trying to communicate. Their songs show their support for Haiti and also motivate the rest of us to do so.

Today it is really easy to donate and help others because of technology. I was watching a video about a song and it included a link to donate right away. Here is one good way in which technology influences our life. We have previously mentioned a lot of problems caused by technology. Well, here is one way technology can help us be a better person and think about others. If we have the chance and we like these songs, we should buy them not download them. Downloading music from the internet is very common. I do not have anything against it, but I think for this case we should make an exception. Every time we download them illegally, it’s like we are taking money away for the people in Haiti.
I hope we can all get a chance to help. Here are some songs from the album Hope for Haiti Now I recommend you listen to: Send me an angel, A Message 2010, Hallelujah, Let it be and Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour).
