The Voice Project is this amazing non-profit that focuses on women in Northern Uganda that have been affected by Joseph Kony's war. They're using their voices, singing to let the former soldiers know they have been forgiven and to come home instead of hiding in what is known as the Bush.
Voice Project supports these women by spreading their message raising money through donations. But that is not all... they ask other musici
ans to participate in the cause. Basically each artist will pick another artist to cover and then those artists chosen would pick someone else. And eventually it all circles back to the women in Uganda. Clever, eh?
It's brilliant and innovative, and so captivating. I have for years been a close follower of Invisible Children that also focuses on Northern Uganda, so this Project really fascinates me.
Here is one of my favorites. Dawes covering an Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros song:

As for song of the day, Surfer Blood Take it Easy was the immediate song I started humming when I woke.

Have a wonderful Thursday,
