This is 90% of charity in a nutshell...I can't watch vid since it's blocked in Finland, but I don't think I'd give to any project that was raising money for United Way. Just do a search, they hit the scandal headlines in 1992, and haven't left, even as late as 2004. I mean it's a nice thought and all, but you don't know how much of that money will be going to kids, or going to line the pockets of United Way execs.

Not much, I am still not finding joy or comfort in playing.
I did share this with regards to the money.
It is all about the kids and families whose lives were shattered in the flash of a moment.
The reason I thought this video was exceptional was the kids singing. After all they have been through I could care less about the charity or its motives.Somewhat off topic but if you want to check on the effectiveness/efficiency of a charity, take a look at Charity Navigator, http://www.charitynavigator.org/.
Back to the topic, thanks for sharing the video. The kids' hearts seem to be in the right place.
Very nice! Looks like she was playing a Compass Rose
