Playing for Change: Peace Through Music

I came across this video today, it was posted on the Presbyterian Hunger Facebook page. First off it is a Bob Marley song, one of my favorite musician! So I checked out the website, Playing for Change homepage, and the the more I read the more I was intrigued by this documentary and the work this foundation is doing to bring about peace around the world and connect people with one thing we all share, MUSIC.

Music effects all of us, for Christian communities it is apart of our worship and praise to almighty God. Many people have music played everywhere they go, consider the car radio, CD player, the iPod, and all other digital music devices. Music is all around us. It is apart of us. And it also may be a way to connect us to others throughout the world. Below is the trailer to the Playing for Change: Peace Through Music documentary. Here is their mission statement, found on their web page...

The Playing For Change Foundation (PFCF) is dedicated to connecting the world through music by providing resources (including but not limited to facilities, supplies, and educational programs) to musicians and their communities around the world. PFCF supports projects inspired by the communities featured in the Playing for Change documentary film series.
