Download de song, en support Musicians Without Borders

The project ‘People’ started with this photo by Giovanni Isolino.
“Migrant families wait to disembark from the Italian military ship “Grecale” as they arrived in the port of Pozzallo, Sicily, on July 2, 2014 two days after a rescue operation of a fishing boat by the Italian navy (Marina Militare) off the coast.
Rescuers recovering the bodies of migrants left to die in the suffocating hull of an overcrowded fishing boat said today they have found 45 bodies, up from an expected toll of 30.”
Singer Helen Botman was touched by this beautiful yet staggering photo. Father and son were representing all those immigrants leaving their homes, hoping to find a safe place in Europe. But above all she was perplexed by the comments of fear, resistance and hate. She asked herself: what can I do, how can I support? As a singer she felt the need to use her voice and her musical skills to raise awareness about the fact that we are all people. We are all unique, all different, yet all the same. We all want safety, a good life and the best for our children. We are all people. All just people.

An old, wise man is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside each of us”, he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil. He is anger, envy, greed, regret, arrogance, sorrow, guilt, self-pity, resentment, inferiority, false pride, superiority, lies and ego.”
He continued. “The other is good. He is joy, love, hope, serenity, peace, humility, kindness, empathy, benevolence, generosity, compassion, truth and faith.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”
The old man simply replied:
“The one you feed.”
