#197 Hear Your Song
Rae Leigh chats with Dan Rubins and Sofia Campoamor from American based charity 'Hear Your Song' opening up about the healing work they are doing with children who are sturggling with illnes and complex needs and how the power of this work is impacting the kids and volenteers in a positive way.\xa0\nHear Your Song, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers children and teens with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting.\xa0Kids living with significant health challenges need the chance to show the world \u2014 and sometimes to hear for themselves, too \u2014 that they are more than their diagnoses.\nIn live, collaborative songwriting sessions, Hear Your Song volunteers work with children and teens to guide them through the process of writing their own song lyrics. Using the kid songwriter\u2019s ideas for musical style, melody, instrumentation, and tempo, volunteer composers and musicians then set those words to music and record the song to be heard, celebrated, and shared.\nHear Your Song partners with pediatric hospitals, camps, schools, and other nonprofit programs that serve kids experiencing serious illnesses and complex health needs. Hear Your Song\u2019s volunteers collaborate with kids through campus-based chapters and at the organization\u2019s national level. All of our programs are available to our families and partner organizations free of charge.\n\nConnect with Hear Your Song HERE
