wholehearted(ly) behind village of hope

we posted before about the amazing album, wholehearted by the wholehearted band but we just wanted to highlight that we have received our first R5K from the sale of their album, which can be purchased various different ways, either via itunes or via cdbaby where you can either download or order the physical cd, which comes with a bonus dvd with the video we shot in rooidakker squatter camp, along with a short interview video of me!...

go on get yourself an amazing worship album and support the work at the village of hope at the same time!

wholehearted....

a couple of weeks ago we welcomed charl and the rest of the everynation somerset west worship band to grabouw to film the video to their latest release....the band 'wholehearted' wanted to shoot a video in the townships and squatter camps in grabouw, for one to give their song a very powerful storyline and secondly to come and see the communities that we are working with day in day out.

proceeds from the single will come direct to thembalitsha and village of hope so please look out for it's release...you can watch the video on youtube by clicking this link or have a look at the everynation somerset west web site for release dates and photos etc.
