SOS Song of Sahel

How Do We Show Solidarity?
We do what we can. We use what is God-given and free. We use our talent.
Children cannot eat words. Blinded by starvation, they cannot see pictures. I wondered at the incongruity of this. Talent has value. It raises awareness. It inspires giving in others. As the Founder and CEO of Plum Tree Books, I put out a call across social media for artists, poets, writers and photographers to join me in a Song Of Sahel.
Song of Sahel, an anthology of poetry, fiction, music, art and photography, will be launched worldwide on September 15th on Facebook. Published by Plum Tree Books as a multi-media kindle and available on Amazon, the proceeds of the sales will go to SOS Sahel, an NGO working in the Sahel region of Africa.
Song of Sahel, brings together artists from all over the world, including the UK, US, Ireland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Canada, South America, India and Australia in the hope of raising awareness of the plight of the people living in the Sahel.

That is so wonderful. We all need to make this work and be successful. It is so important. Thanks DiAnne,
Getting the word out! Reblogged, chirped and posted to my timeline.
Well, that was odd but the reply above I wrote for this reply but it jumped up. But the response goes for both of your comments. Oh, I am hoping all will be a great success. jennifer

It is so very important to reach out to the people of the Sahel to give them a sense of hope. Everyone needs to have hope in their lives. I hope so many people in the world hear the CALL and will be generous and help. Jennifer
We have just started our NEWS DID/MPD blog (within couple of weeks), but we included the greater majority of your post just in case someone might catch it. Good luck with the project!
Our best,
Ann

Thank you Ann, for your good wishes and reposted Song of Sahel. We are all hoping it will be a success. It is so needed to be. Therer are so many who depend the help we are trying give. So many who are weark and starving. The Planet Earth is not giving the way it use to and so many suffer from the drought but in Sahel is is a matter of Life and Death. the secret keeper
