Kids Can Make a Difference

Kids can make a difference, and my fifth-grade students are doing just that. Together, we wrote a song, called "We Can All Join Hands," intended to raise awareness about the ongoing devastation in Haiti. Soon, we will release a fundraising CD, which will be for sale at school events, via local merchants and on the internet.

Visit this blog frequently to find out more about our project. In the meantime, enjoy the lyrics, and remember that every word was written by fifth-graders who care!

WE CAN ALL JOIN HANDS

Down in Haiti they still need a helping hand

The earthquake left such devastation in that land

Millions have no home, living in the open air

Pain and cholera and hunger everywhere

What can we do to help the folks down there?

Let’s work together to show them that we care

We can all join hands

We can take a stand

We can help the land…of Haiti!

Here’s our simple plan:

Let’s do all we can

To help the land…of Haiti!

(SPOKEN) A year after the shattering earthquake, things have not improved much for the people of Haiti. Food, clean water, health and safety – things we all take for granted – are in short supply. We have a chance to do something good for people who are suffering, and to set a positive example for the rest of the world. Please do all you can to help the people of Haiti!
