Blog Prompt 3: Inspiration for Term Project
Playlist:
-“Hello Helicopter” by Motion City Soundtrack: This song has a pretty strong message about how war messes us up. It’s about how no one wins in war, which is one of the highest contributors to child mortality.
-“What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong: Has there ever been a song that better inspired us to preserve our world for the children who are growing up in it?
-“This Land” from The Lion King: Sierra Leone has the highest rate of child mortality in the world, and this instrumental song beautifully captures the essence of Africa’s landscape. It makes you feel like you are there, witnesses the sadness of that place as well as its energy and beauty.
