Monday, April 02, 2007 CD album of blind singers to raise funds for school
THE Silangan Lions Club of Davao City is launching a CD song album performed by blind students of the Davao School and Rehabilitation Center for the Visually Impaired (DSRCVI) in Bago Aplaya as a fund-raising activity for the school on April 2 at the NCCC Mall Atrium.
Entitled "Hamon sa Liwanag," the album contains original songs of lyricist Don Pagusara, a Palanca Awardee.
The songs are part of a collection of compositions featured in a musical play of the same title staged five years ago at the Davao Christian High School.
The CD production, a project of the Silangan Lions Club, is aimed at projecting the talents and cultivating the self-esteem of visually impaired children. It also aims to raise the consciousness of the public in fostering concern for and recognition of the skills and capabilities of these children.
The group intends to sell 1,000 copies of the CD for the material and spiritual needs of the students of the DSRCVI.
Luz Miao Ishiyama, president of Silangan Lions, stressed Hamon sa Liwanag "is not only a fund-generating project, but more importantly it celebrates what these special children are capable of sharing with the world in the expression of their soul through musical art."
