MPP endeavors to provide support and relief in humanitarian crisis. Our first project -Austin For Peace- is oriented to provide relief to The Syrian conflict, which is perhaps the largest human catastrophe in modern times. More than two hundred and fifty thousand Syrians have lost their lives in only four-and-a-half years of armed conflict, and more than 11 million others have been forced from the
ir homes because of civil war. Through music, this non-profit organization focuses on raising funds that will directly aid the millions of displaced Syrian who are being r***d, tortured and murdered. Access to food, water and health services have been blocked through sieges as a method of war, forcing millions of people – mostly women and children – to flee. According to the UN, 70% of the population is without access to adequate drinking water, one in three people are unable to meet their basic food needs, and more than 2 million children are out of school, and four out of five people live in poverty. MPP was established on the tenet that each of us – no matter what our position – can and should embrace a role in the repair of the world. Founded by two musicians, Steinway Artist Esteban Alvarez and Willie Everett, who both believe that because music inherently transmits a positive message, carrying with it an energy that elevates humankind, Austin for Peace would best enable them to embark in the cause of making a difference in the world by promoting peace. The album, “Austin for Peace,” is a collection of songs that convey peace and coexistence. 100% of the album’s net sales are donated to Doctors Without Borders (www.doctorswithoutborders.org). By purchasing this album, you are doing your part to make a positive difference in the lives of people who needs help NOW.
