Trials, Tragedies, Triumphs

Montages Reflect Canvas of Life

Montages created by Clay Aiken fans reflect a broad canvas of life from natural disasters to the happiest of times -- trials, tragedies, and triumphs.

An excellent example is the opening video by LovesClaysVoice in which October's successful rescue of the Chilean miners is accompanied by the singer's "Grace of God" track from the On My Way Here album.

Aspiegirl's montage set to "As Long As We're Here," a special OMWH track to fans and singer alike, weaves images from various avenues of life, including Clay's travels as a UNICEF Ambassador and his charitable work through the National Inclusion Project.

SueReu's named her montage about Clay's UNICEF trips to Uganda, Indonesia, and Afghanistan "See What Love Has Done." The video is accompanied by the UNICEF Ambassador singing "Ashes" from his OMWH album.

Cap links to NIP Widget

Widget, Phone Apps Aid Project

The NIP Voting Widget created and updated nightly by Scarlett provides eight lists of NIP alliances and partners carefully cultivated during the past two months. Be sure to leave a message in each charity's comment section that the NIP voted for them.

Next on Scarlett's list are mobile apps (NIP and partners) for smart phone owners. Meanwhile, the Inclusion Project has posted a Pepsi App download for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. That's one more way to vote!

Organizations the NIP supported in previous months are still voting for the foundation in November. One such charity is EPI Awareness, which left this comment on the NIP-Pepsi page Thursday:
No longer a participant but back to support you as you supported us in October and helped us become a finalist in the 5K. EPI Awareness sending our vote.

I have asked family, friends, music students/parents to help the National Inclusion Project secure one of 10 $50,000 Pepsi grants in November. Erica, an 8th grade violinist, informed me at her lesson Thursday that she has set the alarm on her phone to text her vote daily.

Is she ever on track for an "A+" from this teacher?
