A reminder that we are the world
In 1985, a collection of the world's greatest singers recorded "We Are The World" to benefit charities addressing global hunger. It was a recording and visual wonder in it's day.
Fast forward to a global pandemic, challenging school attendance and toxic polarization. Teacher Emmy Bodner, in Clarkesville, In., was inspired to update the recording with her students in a show of unity and hope. Of course, they modernize it with their own take!
Those of us who are old enough to remember 1985 surely remember the power of "We Are the World." The recording sold more than 20 million copies for charity.
As it did then, this rendition of "We Are the World" reminds us of the power of music to unite us. Hearing children sing the words gives more meaning and life to this beautiful melody. Their innocence, the depth of their soul, their faces beaming with joy and carelessness is beautiful indeed.
Billy Graham once said, "The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith."

"Wimbo ""We Are the World"" uliandikwa na wanamuziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki wa muziki." Ilikuwa rekodi na ajabu ya kuona katika siku yake. Kuelekea mbele kwa janga la ulimwengu, changamoto za kuhudhuria shule na polarization sumu. Mwalimu Emmy Bodner, huko Clarkesville, Indiana, alichochewa kurekodi rekodi hiyo pamoja na wanafunzi wake ili kuonyesha umoja na tumaini. Bila shaka, wao huiboresha kwa njia yao wenyewe! "Wale ambao ni wazima wa kutosha kukumbuka mwaka 1985 hakika wanakumbuka nguvu ya ""Sisi ni Ulimwengu.""" Rekodi hiyo iliuzwa kwa nakala zaidi ya milioni 20 kwa ajili ya misaada. "Kama ilivyokuwa wakati huo, wimbo huu wa ""We Are the World"" unatuwakumbusha nguvu za muziki za kutufanya tuwe na umoja." Kusikia watoto wakiimba maneno hayo huongeza maana na uhai wa wimbo huo mzuri. Umashuhuri wao, kina cha nafsi zao, nyuso zao zenye kung'aa kwa furaha na kutojali ni nzuri kweli. "Mwanamume mmoja wa Marekani, Billy Graham, alisema hivi: ""Urithi mkubwa zaidi ambao mtu anaweza kuwapa watoto wake na wajukuu wake si pesa au vitu vingine vya kimwili vilivyokusanywa katika maisha yake, bali ni urithi wa tabia na imani.""" "Sikiliza wimbo huu mzuri na kuhisi hisia za watoto hawa, ambao ni siku zijazo zetu.Tupeleke barua pepe kwa jina la kwanza, jina la mwisho, mfano, na tuambie unafikiria nini na tafadhali toa mifano mingine ambayo unaweza kuwa nayo ya watoto wanaochangia kutufanya pamoja kama taifa.
