Back in my high school days, I remember times when along with friends idealism and a desire to help got us involved in similar efforts.

With that and the suffering of so many people in impoverished Haiti in mind, I had to lend my modest support to a group of kids who were passionate enough to decide to try and do something.

Who and what is behind this Kids Rocking for Haiti in NYC:

"A unique and growing fundraising campaign, a collaboration of New York City’s diverse multi-cultural communities, grew out of the vision of Pascal Jadot, a young Manhattan middle school student and musician. Pascal’s desire to do a concert with his band, Sidewayz, to benefit the children of Haiti, is creating a groundswell of support that has grown into a multi-faceted relief campaign."

It did not hurt that Pascal was able to get his father and other grown-ups on board:
