Grand Ceremonies
Pantawpyin Village Children
“It was one of those magical days in the rural village of Pantawpyin, Myanmar. We celebrated the opening of our first rural health center with many people from the village and surrounding villages present. The children had not heard the song before, so we showed them the Singers Maring children singing the song, and then I led them through the song line by line, verse by verse. It was too much fun, especially when the parents and villagers started singing the song too!
Before we left the village I gave the teacher several copies of the song so that the next time we visit they will be better prepared to sing the song to other children wherever the song decides to go!” – JEFF HARDY

The Care for Peace Song
jeff hardy:
“I wrote the Care for Peace song for the children of the world to sing and remind us of our responsibility to care…for peace. I wanted to complete the song so that the children in rural Myanmar could sing at the Grand Opening of the first Care for Peace Rural Health Center in June, 2016.”
