"The Prayer" by the Loboc Children's Choir and Various Artists

It's been almost three months since Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck Visayas and left behind a trail of devastation. Relief operations are still ongoing and there are still many ways to help out. One of those ways is to purchase the version of "The Prayer" performed by the Loboc Children's Choir and various OPM artists.

You can download this version of The Prayer at www.spinnr.ph. All proceeds will go to the Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation to help rebuild the lives of those in the Visayas.

Here are some excerpts I took from the information about this video on youtube:

On October 15, 2013, an earthquake with the energy equivalent to "32 Hiroshima bombs" devastated the Visayas, and parts of Mindanao and southern Luzon. Two days later, the Loboc Children's Choir sang, "The Prayer," with the rubble of the hundred year old Loboc Church as their backdrop. Their performance moved so many people here and abroad.

Then, tragedy struck again. On November 8, Typhoon Yolanda, the most powerful tropical cyclone of the year hit East Samar, Samar and Leyte.

This is where we took inspiration from the Loboc Children's Choir's performance."

"...we asked the help of various Filipino artists to lend their voices, to represent our country, and show the world that the Philippines has one voice, one prayer -- that we work together to help our countrymen rebuild their lives brick by brick. The resulting song will be used to raise funds through downloads. The proceeds will go to the helpPH campaign, a project by the Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation (PDRF). It is a non-profit organization made up of major companies from the private sector and leading NGOs.

You can also still donate to the Philippine Red Cross through this link.
