You know what I really, really love? When beautiful, talented, purposeful, conscious, aware people come together to create something truly beautiful.
The energy behind Young Artists For Haiti’s song Wavin’ Flag is absolutely fantastically awesome, and it seems everyone else is buzzin’ about it as well.
Spearheaded by K’naan and Bob Ezrin, and supported by Free The Children, War Child, World Vision Canada, Apple, The Music Labels and so many A-List Canadian artists put whatever projects they were working on aside, came together, and shared this beautiful song with us.

Interesting note: Disasters in one part of the world seem to really have a way of uniting strongly and powerfully other parts of the world.
