Phoenix in Haiti with Music For Relief - Solar Lights

Among the many hardships facing Haitian women is the threat of sexual violence and intimidation. While on a recent trip to Haiti, Phoenix met with United Nations staff and Haitians to learn how something as simple as solar street lights are protecting women and children from violence at night in the camps. Music for Relief is helping fund solar lights in Haiti's camps which have already helped to protect thousands.

Linkin Park's Bassist Urges More Donation for Haiti

Linkin Park bassist Dave Farrell has met with high-ranking Haitian officials in a bid to find ways for his charity organization Music for Relief to help the ongoing relief effort following last year's devastating earthquake. The rocker, traveled to the troubled nation earlier on April 11 in an effort to help support a campaign against crime and shed light on the problems facing Haiti.

In a statement released to WENN, Farrell says, "Haiti may have fallen from the headlines, but the country still needs our help. We can't forget about the suffering that is still going on in Haiti."

"After meeting UN (United Nations) staff and Haitian families, I urge all of our fans to donate through Music For Relief's Download to Donate for Haiti. It is an easy way for fans to stay engaged and together we can help the UN light the future for Haiti's women and girls."

The band's charity is currently working to install over 200 solar street lights to help keep civilians safe.

Hi guys,

On Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 3pm PST / 6pm EST, we will be joining experts from the United Nations and the folks at Facebook for a unique Town Hall discussion about the ongoing relief efforts in Haiti. It's been more than a year since the devastating earthquake, and there is still much to be done to help send aid to the region. We will be talking about the progress that our organizations have made, and about how you can support the UN and its partners in helping Haiti to continue to rebuild and transform.

This is a unique opportunity to hear from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and a U.S. Government expert live on Facebook. Our conversation won’t be complete without your voice, so be sure to tune in, ask your questions, and be heard.

A THOUSAND SUNS TOUR UPDATE

Finally got a moment to sit down and give you guys an update. First of all, being a native Californian, I don’t know why you East Coasters complain about this weather. Single digit temperatures and record-breaking snowfall? No problem!

Actually, we’ve had to make some adjustments to our touring plans as we’ve gone. Weather has made certain flights and trips difficult, and we’re actually looking at options on plane, train, and bus for the trip from Boston to New York tonight after the show. (If all else fails, I have a dogsled lined up for me, Chester, and Phoenix). Luckily, all the shows have gone on without any major complications so far.

We’ll be doing a bunch of interviews and a performance on SNL this week, so look for us on TV and the world wide interwebz.

Check out this rave review of our show on Technorati:
