About Artists for Peace and Justice
Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), established in early 2009, is a fundraising effort founded by Paul Haggis and friends that encourages peace and social justice and addresses issues of poverty and enfranchisement in communities around the world. Over the past year, APJ has directed its efforts to raising enough funds to fully sponsor three schools in Haiti in support of the initiatives of Father Rick Frechette and his team. These schools aren’t just a place to learn but provide for a hot meal, clean water and a chance at the future to children who desperately need it. Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, APJ has focused its efforts on raising much needed dollars for emergency aid in the ravaged country that is only a few hours from our shores.

I bought it. It's a beautiful singing from Ed once again. And it's a whole song.

Thats a lovely version. Good work Eddie

Awesome news!! Thanks a lot 10C

That was one truly moving and heart felt version of that song. Ed and the rest of the clan will be sitting in the same seat Bruce is one day.
Thanks for publishing it for a great cause. Thank you Bruce and Ed.

I just bought this at itunes for $1.68 before I saw it on here for .99cents. I hope the money will still go to Haiti.

nice work, love this version!!!

What a wonderful thing to do - I read someone's suggestion about this in the forum just days ago...and such a poignant & befitting song. Thanks Ed & of course to Bruce :)

128 kbps?

just got it. even if it is a small contribution i am happy i can do something, we are struggling in ireland, this is going to be a really hard year to endure. anyway, thanks ed and the apj for giving me this opportunity. peace

My daughter was named after the band and she is Autistic. As hard as it is to look after her it pales in comparison to what the people of Haiti are enduring right now. I have a blog for her and here is the link

Glad for the chance to give something for Haiti with an organization I trust... I will give more when I see Mike and friends at the Showbox next month... God bless the people of Haiti...
