I'm going to take a quick break from telling you about Tina's trip (we had a few more adventures together) and take this time to tell you about an amazing guy. Ben Fairfield is a PC volunteer here in Thailand. He is amazingly creative & resourceful (he makes his own soap, can weave backpacks using plastic bags, and made an adobe oven). To top it all Ben has now made a cd. Here are the details:
Hello friends!
Did you know that you can create a convincing drum set out of paper, brooms, screen doors, silverware, and pillows? It’s true! This email announces the arrival of “SMILE LAND,” the latest album from Ben Fairfield, created entirely with instruments and household items costing less than 5 dollars.
Recorded on location in rural Thailand, these 16 songs have something for everybody. And, all the profits from the sale of this album (while we’re still in the country) will be donated to the hill tribe dormitory in our local village. The dorm houses nearly 400 students and provides room and board, life skills activities, and educational assistance for students from very remote villages surrounding our area.
SMILE LAND is now for sale online at http://www.lulu.com/content/2758545 or by from my website, http://www.benjaminfairfield.com, where you can hear audio samples and read more about the process and project.
++++NOTE: the website does not give out my location or make use of the PC logo++++
I hope you have time to check it out. And, if you like the music or the cause, please forward the link to your friends.
Thanks so much!
