Idol Gives Back..
A little while ago, American Idol had their yearly Idol Gives Back event. Maybe some of you heard of it. Well, it’s basically all about different celebrities and charities from different industries coming together and devote their time to helping the world become a more better place. You would donate some money and they will go to Africa and helpless people around America. This big event was 2-3 hours long. There were many people from Carrie Underwood to John Cenna. Many charities also came up to the stage and talked about their action plans. Not every great musician were there up on that stage though. Bono (U2) was in Africa helping people who were effected by AIDS. Daughtry (a band made by season 5, top 4 contestant Chris Daughtry) was sent to Uganda and help people on the field. They suffered many illnesses. But that didn’t stop Daughtry into participating in Idol Gives Back. He sent a video of his band’s journey in Africa. Here’s the video.
It was pretty nice of them to help people around Uganda. And I bet this video was powerful and inspired people for caring about the people that are suffering. As I read the comments for this video in Youtube, a commentor said “I regret only dontaing 25 dollars”. Then, the usual quote I hear in my head is “A little change can make a difference”. So, I typed that up next to his comment. Don’t know what the person’s response was.. but I know that everyone can make a difference…
