In April of 2015 Peace Through Music will Travel to Kabul Afghanistan to bring clothes,coloring books,crayons and other items to the Hawa family and their community. The Hawa family lost two sisters in 2012 to a suicide bombing; sisters Parwana and Korshid lost their lives while warning American personel of the impending attack-they leave behind a family of 3 younger brothers and sisters and 3 older brothers and sisters as well as their mother and father-we have also raised some funds for the little ones education-we are bringing a guitar to a 16 year old Afghan girl named massouda Shareefy-who Lanny met last year-she has become his student and is very exited to learn the instrument and shows much promise.
Peace through Music will also visit schools and play his collection of songs called "An Afghan Lullaby" inspired by the Hawa family and their loss.It features 12 songs including a cover of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing. In Pakistan Peace through Music will return to the many schools to visit and bring needed essentials to poverty stricken areas like Charsadda-playing for the kids and checking on thet state of things. Further collaborations will also take place with several Pakistani artists to continue spreading the peace through music concept.
The trip will conclude in May. Deep Gratitude for all of the supporters and believers.
