Oh yes, Christmas is a time of giving. Sometimes we give out of gratitude and sometimes we give out of our need, demonstrating faith that our own need will be met. This Christmas, I decided to ramp up my involvement with Feeding Children Worldwide, my favorite nonprofit humanitarian organization, by offering new CD titles I have produced, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting their efforts to relieve global hunger. Specifically, the funding will go toward sponsoring food packing, where local groups can pack the actual food made available to feeding programs working in distressed areas.
Our very first title is 'Rikki Tikki Tavi', a children's audiobook, featuring the classic Kipling tale of a courageous pet and the family he protects from a cunning snake. The disc has about an hour's material and is read by Miss Natasha of Storynory (see Prince Bertie the Frog).
The music title is the work of Quietus, a prog-rock band and friends of mine. Their EP release is titled 'Neverending Game' and features 4 songs with about 15 minutes of music. The revenues of both discs benefit FCW and are available at amazon.com, but if purchased from our estore, FCW will receive more of the profits.
Both discs are professionally produced and the material is top-notch. I have enclosed samples at the bottom of the page. Click on the title covers to go to our estore. Both titles are very gift-worthy, not second-rate projects and the monies go to a worthy cause- what have you got to lose? Send out a little karma this season, and a Merry Christmas to you!
