Sarah MacLachlan .... World on Fire
Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan made a video recording of her song World on Fire for $15, on her website she talks about how she used the $150,000 that she might have spent on that recording to finance development projects around the world. Her budget price recording and details of the projects funded and the beneficiaries can be found at the following website:

Whenever there is an election I become terribly frustrated by the large amounts of money made available to finance candidates. In despair ( and envy) I imagine what I or other concerned individuals and organisations could do with all the money spent and resources consumed in the short period of an election campaign. What would happen if the candidates in every election were given $15 as their election budget to make a video recording that they too could post online and the money they might have spent on their campaign could be used for development projects nationally and internationally? If they needed any help with this they could always ask Sarah McLachlan for advice!
Take care ... take heart .... Merinda
