Christmas Campaign 2015

Do They Know It's Christmas Time is a song originally written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and sang by Band Aid in reaction to television reports of the 1983-85 famine in Ethiopia.  

30 years later, young and old pop stars including Seal, Roger Taylor, Ed Sheeran, Jessie Ware, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith are following in the footsteps of dozens of African artists who have been using music to raise awareness and funds for Ebola patients in west Africa.

Second Chance and some high school friends wanted to raise the same awareness that not everyone can enjoy a merry Christmas with loved ones.  We have reached more than 1000 people with this video. 

Song Excerpt

… but say a prayer – pray for the other ones

At Christmas time – it’s hard but while you’re having fun

There’s a world outside your window and it’s a world of dread and fear

Where a kiss of love can kill you and there’s death in every tear

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight we’re reaching out and touching you
