Someone Who has Taken Action

Hear HER Voice:
SOMEONE WHO HAS TAKEN ACTION
Students to view the Music Video clip on YouTube
of Sarah McLachlan’s “WORLD on FIRE”. This is an
inspiring project by Sarah who made the decision
to make her own Music video for $15 instead of
paying her production company $150,000. She
then gave the balance to those in need.
The result is a music video identifying what the $ can buy
in developing countries and/or communities.

“World On Fire”
Hearts are worn in these dark ages

The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I’ll try to hold it in, yeah I’ll try to hold it in
The world’s on fire and
It’s more than I can handle
I’ll tap into the water
(Try and bring my share)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able
