We are absolutely certain that it is going to happen. We have over 5 bands that are willing to play, and all we need now is the space. We are still hoping to secure a space in the Riverside Church, but if we cannot, we are hoping that there are people elsewhere in New York City who are willing to donate the space for the Concert to happen.
Our plans were put on hold because a beloved institution by the name of the Harlem School of the Arts was threatening to close down. The Harlem School of the Arts is an institution for children that was founded by Opera singer Dorthy Maynor. The school started in a church basement, and eventually moved to the building next to the church.
A lack of funds emerged, and the school was almost closed. What saved the school was the combined efforts of staff, parents, and children. Children put up signs, wrote letters to the media and the board members, and participated in rallies.
This goes to show that not only can kids have a major role in saving a school, but also that they can have a major role in anything that they deem important. This is what OnEartHeart is about. Showing kids that yes, they CAN make a difference in anything that they put their mind to. I would like to personally congratulate the kids of the Harlem School of the Arts for caring about their school and its closing, and doing something about it.
In other news, an updated OnEartHeart website will be launched soon! You will be able to check it out very soon at www.oneartheart.org!
