Freerange has been helping Architecture for Humanity with a project called Songs for Christchurch.
On February 22, 2011, a devastating earthquake hit the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. Despite measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale, killing hundreds of people, displacing thousands and destroying over one-third of the city’s Central Business District, news of the quake has been overshadowed by events in the Middle East and Charlie Sheen.
Almost immediately Architecture for Humanity began mobilizing resources into the community including architects, engineers and communications equipment to aid in the recovery and long-term rebuilding efforts.
The bulk of recovery effort donations are raised in the first few weeks after a disaster as news of the event spreads. Our goal is to bring together the global music community to help raise awareness and support for both the short term recovery and long-term rebuilding of Christchurch thru a combination of music driven initiatives.
