Wanted to follow up on my post from a few weeks back about my friend, and former student, Dave Moran. I got a request from him to share an opportunity to enjoy his music, and make a difference in the lives of victims of human trafficking. Here’s his message:

Hey there friends,

I wanted to give you all an update on my latest project. I got into the studio a few weeks ago to begin recording my new album, When Beautiful Cries.  Once it is finished, all of the money from the sale of the CD will go to support various organizations in the fight against human trafficking.  I would call it about 85% done at this point.  I hope to have it out early 2011 (if not before).  If you would like to donate to this project (because there are still costs), there is still time!   Message me to find out how.

Also, and this is where I’m going to ask you to do something else, I have decided that from now until the end of 2010, all sales from my first CD, Captured, will go directly to an organization that is directly involved in helping girls who have been affected by human trafficking and abusive relationships.  The Hope House (www.hopehousenc.com) is an organization here in NC that provides a place for girls to go to get away from their bad situation.  What I’m asking of you is that change your status for today to spread the word about this.  Direct people to go to www.noisetrade.com/davemoran where they can download a copy of the CD in exchange for their email address and zipcode (and that’s it).  They can choose how much they want to pay for the album, and all of the money that will go directly to The Hope House.  Please take a moment to update your status (and get the music yourself if you haven’t already) to get involved in the fight against the horrors of human trafficking.

Thanks,
Dave
