Song Flight
Connecting kids around the
world through story and song
Help Us Help the Kids
We're creating Song Flight - a global initiative that uses stories, songs, and creative activities to connect Ukrainian kids with other children around the world.
The goal of Song Flight is to help children develop the emotional intelligence (EQ) they'll need to become kind, compassionate adults who don't start wars.
Your financial support and volunteer efforts will make it possible for us to hire a team of professionals who can bring Song Flight to children around the world. Visit the links below to learn how you can help:
