[MANNAM heal the world] We are the world

 MANNAM Volunteer Association is a place where people can join and do volunteer work. It doesn’t matter if you are from another country or have a different culture. You only need a heart to help others who needs that kind of love. Even though you have a different job, style, taste, it doesn’t matter. We can help other who needs help by our abilities. A doctor can volunteer in MANNAM by helping others who need his hands. A dancer can make the elder’s or the children happy by his performance. A singer can make a song to unite all the peoples mind into one or can make them believe world peace achieve by themselves. This is what the musicians did in 1985.

 “We are the world” is a song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced by Quincy Jones, recorded by popular musicians to raise funds to help famine-relief efforts on Ethiopia which experienced unusual drought in 1985.

 Even though their music styles and thoughts are different in music, they became one with the hope for peace around the world. To help the people in Africa suffering, over 45 musicians gathered to sing the song for help. Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve perry, Darlyl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles and many others are the people who joined this video clip.

“We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make

A brighter day

So let's start giving”

Like the lyrics, we are the world and the ones who can change the future. When this music came out, some of the people could have though what differences can a song in the public. But with this song, people got hope and love to peace. Likewise, the things that we do to help others can look like small thing besides the whole world, but that is the key and the start for a big thing. This way, world peace and the world that we dream for can happen soon. Let’s do this starting in MANNAM Volunteer association!
