Christopher Guard's Song-Writing Challenge

Fundraising for Sandblast Ltd

raised of £500 target
Song-Writing Challenge, 20 March 2021
We're fundraising in response to local demand to expand the benefits of our pioneering after school DV programme, providing unique chances for children to gain English language, music and life skills to become cultural ambassadors for their cause.

Story

The Saharawi children sang one of my songs live in the camp a couple of years ago. It was so moving watching them. The song is called 'Across the World'. Recently I wrote a song for Aziza Ibrahim and her grandmother called 'Diva of the Desert Blues'. Through music I already feel very close to the cause. On Saturday March 20th - the first day of spring - I shall be  writing a minimum of six songs spontaneously. I shall not see the themes or titles until the day itself. They can be about anything - not just Saharawi related - and I need you to make suggestions to Daniele Smith. One word, two words, a short sentence, whatever inspires you. And me!
