 “Lots and lots of little can do lots and lots of good," said Stevie Wonder after the Haiti Earthquake, and it was this quotation that inspired the Kings for Haiti Project.
We have recorded the Kings for Haiti Album in order to raise money for the DEC following the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti last month.
As students we wondered what we could do in order to help make a difference and this record was the end result. "Music has always managed to find and help people on their toughest times and most importantly bring them together. Similarly we thought that our music could appeal to people and hopefully play a small part in helping the people of Haiti get back on their feet" There are two songs, a cover of "Let it Be" by the Beatles and an original song called "The Sun Will Rise Again." Please buy our music using the link below and all profits will go directly to the DEC. The album can be bought from Amazon.co.uk's mp3 store using the following link: If the above player does not load in your browser, please click here We get 49p per song sold on Amazon, or 98p for the album, so we have created a Justgiving page with a suggested donation of £3 to help raise more money for Haiti than we can get through Amazon alone. Please be generous in your giving and donate as much as you can by clicking the image below:
How your money can help: On 12th January 2010, a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti including the capital Port-Au-Prince. Although there is as yet no accurate assessment of the death toll, millions of people live in the affected area. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and substantial humanitarian assistance will be required to ensure survivors get food, clean water, shelter, medical care and other support. The DEC is an umbrella organisation of all the major UK aid agencies. Its aim is to unite efforts in times of disaster- such as flood, earthquake or famine- wherever it happens in the world
Your donation will go to the DEC which in turn will send money to each agency. It may go towards household kits and essential food supplies, it may go towards ensuring that people have shelter and medical treatment, as well as clean water supplies and adequate sanitation.

About the Record: We initially recorded "Let it Be" by The Beatles. This is a song that talks about adversity and times when life might be tough, but also conveys to the listener that faith should never be lost leaving them with a renewed sense of hope for the future. The second song,"The Sun Will Rise Again" was written as a mixture of a lullaby and a prayer. It is a song that tries to give a sense of comfort in a time of distress and it also has an uplifting feel to it, a sense that human strength and compassion will prevail in the face of such a disaster. We hope you enjoy listening to these songs, and that they will make a small difference to the people of Haiti in their time of need.
Thank-you for taking the time to visit the "Kings for Haiti" website. All profits from the sale of this album will be given directly to the DEC, and we would like to thank you for your generosity.
