Please also consider donating to LoveLight and the great work they do. You can really make a difference! www.Lovelight.info The story behind the album: Hi, I'm Kevin Wood, and my wife, Jennifer, and I, this last year have had the privilege to get to know Martin and Kelly Dowman, who are wonderful people and servants of our community in Austin, TX, as well as the communities in South Africa. Martin, a couple of years ago, left a successful career in the corporate world to instead pursue the betterment of impoverished communities in the country of South Africa. Joining the forces of LoveLight, a non-profit program serving the kids in South Africa, the mission and vision is to help these communities rise above the circumstances of pandemics like HIV/AIDs, hunger and poverty in the post apartheid era. Lovelight funds programs and provides volunteers to give these kids hope and a brighter future. This is making a difference for hundreds of South African children. Through education, training, organization, support and lots of love, LoveLight has already helped so many in need as it works with existing, effective community organizations in South Africa, so they help the communities there from the ground up. The focus has been sustainability and education, so that these communities know how to grow their own food, foster childhood education, create their own lives, and hold the belief that they can make it if they try (and that love is the way). In addition, Martin organizes the opportunity for a number of graduating high school seniors in America to make the trip to South Africa and learn the value of service and making a difference, transforming their lives forever. Upon being inspired and moved by the work of Martin and Kelly Dowman and LoveLight, Jennifer and I wanted to help. As a New Age/World music artist and promoter, I have been blessed to meet and know so many other New Age and World music artists. The Music That Matters compilation was seen as a beautiful and inspiring way to bring together talented artists with extraordinary music for the cause. What's so amazing was the heartfelt response from the artists. We found that artists are eager to help and be a part of meaningful solutions and charitable work. This compilation is now a reality, and you can help by spreading the word. The child shown on the album's front cover is Rose. She and her family have benefited tremendously from LoveLight.
