Featured Cause: WILLET – Fighting Against Poverty
I recently stumbled across a video from a band called WILLET. While I really enjoy their music, they are more than just a band. They are a band with a cause:
WILLET is a Rock Band out of Westminster, MD made up of brothers, Jeremy, Justin, and Jordan Willet. In February of 2007, WILLET traveled to Ethiopia, Africa with a film crew. The images of hungry children, dirty streets, and poverty will never be forgotten.
The phrase repeated throughout the trip was;
“I have the virus,” or “I don’t have the virus, praise God!”
The “VIRUS” they are speaking of is the HIV/AIDS VIRUS that is sweeping through Africa, killing thousands of children each day.
View their video, which features their song titled Streetlights, along with some of the children they sponsor:
