Haiti, Brighter Way, and a video from someone who cares
9.45am, Sunday, 24 January, 2010. This ‘user generated’ video was uploaded on to Youtube 2 days ago by Amii, its has left me speechless.
Brighter Way is connecting people in remarkable ways.
Here’s the ‘from the heart’ description note that accompanies Amii’s original upload on Youtube.
Hey guys,
This is Amii, and for the first time, I’m making a video that really matters.
To you those celebrities that I see you guys make videos of do matter, but to me, the world matters.
Because I am part of that world, I am not part of those celebrities lives.
I am not them, I am my own person, but me, myself, and I live in this world, and its called EARTH!
I want you guys to think about what is going on around the world.
The other day, I was looking everywhere (twitter, oceanup, surfme, youtube!) everyone is arguing and having major fights over ridiculous things!
The world is practically falling apart, and some of you may not know this because you are stuck in your little worlds of happiness
But somewhere on this planet, people are dying. And dying for things that are really dumb.
The earthquake in Haiti has killed many, and this is just my part. Please, send this video to all that you know, please put it as your featured video on your page. I know I’m no one, and I know I’m not the best Vidder on Youtube, but guys please, this is for something important.
One person, can possibly change the world.
You may not think that, but your best friend might, prove to me that there is still something in this world to believe in. tell me there is hope.
Did you know that there is tons of communism, genocide, and other earth given problems in this world?
I don’t really care if Nicks going out with Selena, and you shouldn’t either.
They aren’t really part of your lives, but these people are.
They are part of your world.
What happened to them has happened to YOUR world.
This is your L I F E.
This is your O N L Y life, this is the time for C H A N G E this is what I really want you guys to think about.
There is nothing more important in this world than Y O U, but the things surrounding you, the people surrounding you, the lives of the normal that are taken away everyday, are effecting you as well.
Because the next life that could be taken away, could most likely be yours..
Just think about it.
That’s all for now,
Please share this video with the world

Song: Brighter Way by Amy Wolff
—— this song was written by my aunts friend, I don’t know if I have the right to this song, but it gave me so much inspiration I just had to make it.

Hello, I’m interested in participating in this project but am having a hard time finding definitive information about it. Who is the primary contact? What other choirs are participating? Is there some kind of audio track accompaniment? How and where do we submit videos (I’m a complete technology doofus)? Any particular format? Any news as far as media coverage goes? etc. etc. I’ll have to recruit singers who will volunteer their time, so would love to be able to “pitch” it to them knowing there is a lot of energy behind this.
It would be great if there was more info. out there. If and when there is, I’ll happily forward it on to more colleagues. Thanks for your work!
