We are always looking for new ways to do things and have our listeners really make a difference to the hunger crisis. So we changed our Donate button to show which gift we are raising money for and will update our blog with information on how each animal will become a life changing experience for a family suffering from  hunger. This way, you can get a better idea of how we aim to help cure hunger one song at a time! You can still view our total donations both on on our myspace and .org page. We would like to thank you again for helping us raise $2198 so far!

There are 2 ways you can help us reach our target.
- Purchase our Best Of Sound Aid CD and have $10 donated (thats 100% of the CD profits).
- For any other amounts make a General Donation. No amount is too small to help drastically change the lives of a family in need.

So how does a Water Bufallo change lives......?

A water buffalo can lead a hungry family out of poverty and give them a chance for a bright future filled with hope and free from hunger. In poor Filipino villages, water buffalo provide draft power for planting rice and potatoes, milk for protein and manure for fertilizer and fuel. A farmer can plant four times more rice with a buffalo than by hand.

Water buffalo haul heavy loads to the market, where the sale of extra produce brings in vital income for clothing, medicine and school. By renting their buffalo to neighbors,  families can earn money for home improvements. Protein-rich milk, strength to till soil, manure to enrich the land ... so many benefits. And, in turn, water buffalo are happy just to graze on coarse grasses and other plants not suitable for harvesting.

Bravo! Beautyfull...
An Eskimo proverb says: "If you give a fish to a hungry, you feed him once. But if you teach him how to catch it, you fed him for a lifetime!"
