Lokahi Summer Newsletter!

Thanks to all of you that have volunteered with us so far this season - it’s been a lot of fun and incredibly inspiring to get to work with so many amazing volunteers!
If you have not yet had a chance to join us at one of our shows, read on, as there are still lots of volunteer opportunities abound!

Water = Hope Campaign

Our work on the Brad Paisley tour for Water = Hope has been nothing short of incredible; we’ve already gotten over 10,000 Paisley fans to take part in this amazing campaign, are halfway to our goal of building four wells in communities needing clean water, AND we still have over a dozen dates left on the tour, more chances to talk to people about the importance of clean water! If you would like to join us, we’ll be out west in September, with shows in Spokane, the Gorge, Portland, San Francisco, Phoenix, Albuquerque, San Diego, Boise, Denver and Salt Lake City and need lots of volunteers to help us make these dates a big success!
To join us at one of these dates, just visit www.waterequalshope.com/volunteer

We have been posting photos from the tour all summer long on the Facebook page - if you haven’t checked it out yet, please do so, and be sure to tag yourself if you are in some of them!

Arcade Fire and Partners in Health

I am also doing some cool work in a partnership with our friends at Reverb and Partners in Health, hitting the road late this September with Arcade Fire, where I’ll be building support for Partners in Health’s Haiti projects.

To volunteer, visit http://reverb.org/project/arcadefire/

I was lucky to get to spend about two and a half weeks on the road with the band this August; you can read about my work on the tour earlier this summer here:
