Project WHY set out to create a model whereby quality education support in underprivileged areas, could be spearheaded by parents even if they were illiterate. The idea was to empower the community to pool its resources and run a sound support programme for its children.
Story by: Tehreem, Jyoti, Sivam, Dipali and Reema. Lyric by Dawn Otteson. Music by Nadia Cripps. The song can also be found here: http://www.fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/17569 Lyrics::: We went out to have a picnic the sky was blue as far as I could see Then the rain clouds came to our field and made me very happy.... But water is very important, don't you see without this water from the sky there is no you and me... I grabbed the water to wash my hands but the water drop cried out don't waste me, you need me to live I was frightened by the shout... The rain drop was right I needed him to live I let the rain drop go life to the earth he'd give.
These children's story has a very important lesson for us and I am thankful that I had an opportunity to echo that lesson.
When I saw this story it just gravitated me in to it. What a great story line. Not to mention it's true. Thanks you for giving me the opportunity to write a song to this story.
