I normally donate my music to help the albatross, endangered species and animals. This is something of a change. If it touches your heart please share this video with others. Children deserve a better life than this!

Geoff, you are one of those specially chosen by God. You choose to accept the work at hand, and give so much of your soul generously.
Thank you for being an example to me, and help me realize, than even though I don't have much income, there is so much I can do to help more.
God's Blessings with you always.

Geoff, thank you for helping us to see these children who are homeless, helpless, and hungry in such a special musical way. You are truly a gift to the world. Why are these children on the streets in this day and age anyway? How about getting them adopted into loving homes? Is that possibility impossible? There must be a way to help them, after all, WE are the adults who should be smart enough to figure out a way to help them. This is just so wrong, has society sunk to this level, that we would feel sympathy, but can't think of a way to help?

And this in the year 2009...someone please tell me what could be -- what should be more important? Each child has a story, but the one story that is consistent, they are alone they are homeless and hungry.

Could you, would you, have walked past one of these children and done nothing?

Thanks Bonita checking into IYN now, indeed Barb we can't just accept this we must do something. Geoff, beautiful, haunting music but you have motivated me to act.

Oh Geoff, it's heartbreaking to learn there are homeless children on the streets longing for love and care.

Your closing photo was powerful...hand-in-hand we must help these children together.

God bless your beautiful music, Geoff, and your willingness to make a difference. You are an angel to the children.

This is just so sad and frustrating. I think of all the resources being squandered now on warfare and other stupid excesses, while children are suffering like this.

It is sad that so many adults walk past the children and accept them as a way of life.

More has to be done for our children as they will inherit this world.

Thanks so very much Geoff. If there is a purpose to life, you have it. For I believe in 'doing for the least of them, and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.' is it.

YOU KNOW WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST ABOUT HOMELESS & HUNGRY CHILDREN: THE FACT THAT THERE SHOULDNT BE ANY! AND WHEN PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE WILLING TO HELP A CHILD, WE NEED TO COME UP WITH THOUSAND OF DOLLARS JUST TO ADOPT THEM? MONEY GOOD PEOPLE JUST DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE UPFRONT TO GIVE THEM A HOME, LOVE, FOOD? MEANTIME, CHILDREN DIE!
