The Morning Star Singers is a group of volunteer singers who offer
songs of healing and comfort to those struggling with living or dying.

Fifty Lanterns International is a Minnesota-based nonprofit
organization that partners with established humanitarian groups to provide
disadvantaged communities with renewable energy sources such as solar-power
lights, lanterns, and water pumps.
Ever since I heard about 50 Lanterns work, I have been
finding ways to support them. I lead regular song circles that benefit
their work (see calendar) and a recent CD (Coming Home -- see product
catalog) also helps purchase solar technology for people in need.

offered me rich insights and warm relationships as well as wonderful
ideas for songs.
