VOA慢速英语 小朋友在社区服务中发挥大作用

　　(MUSIC)

　　Many of the songs on "Playing for Change" are versions of famous older songs. But this song, "Don't Worry," was written for the album by Pierre Minetti of Spain. It includes over twenty musicians from four continents who are connected through the message in the music.

　　"Playing for Change is" not just about sharing music with the world. Mark Johnson wanted to help the musicians and their communities. So he created a non-profit group, the Playing for Change Foundation two years ago. Last year, he established Timeless Media, a for-profit company that pays for and extends the work of "Playing for Change".

　　Mark Johnson writes on the CD: "As a human race we come together for birth, we come together for death. What brings us together in between is up to us. Stop and listen to the universal language of music and bring that positive energy with you everywhere you go."

　　We leave you now with Bob Marley's "One Love" from "Playing for Change."
