Description
Music for Life, the yearly charity event organized by radio station Studio Brussels and the Red Cross, this year was all about the 15.000.000 orphans from parents who had dies of AIDS. The objective of the campaign was to create awareness for the topicand collect money to support the orphans via a direct approach of both Belgian children and their parents because they are the most sensible target group in this matter. In Belgium, the children have just about everything they need. So we asked them to give some of the attention and stuff they get from their parents, to the orphans. We asked them to share their parents.
