This CD is loaded with excellent musicians all providing covers of classic bands. Read on to learn more about the album.
66% Of all people killed by war are children.  War Child helps by providing support to the children marginalized by the effects of war in Darfur, Afghanistan, northern Uganda and other devastated conflict areas around the world. War Child works to ensure that children's rights are respected and never violated, to make it possible for children to go to school and empower them to build a secure and sustainable future.
