Great Music Covers to Help Protect Children of War

There's something special about purchasing an album that has a good selection of songs from various artists and from which the proceeds go to support a good cause. In this case the album is the new release titled War Child: Heroes, Vol. 1.

In a campaign to bring attention and fundraising to non-profit efforts that help protect and rehabiliate children of war, a dozen artists and bands came to the plate. Among them include TV On The Radio, The Like, Rufus Wainwright, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lily Allen, Mick Jagger, Hot Chip, The Kooks and Beck all recorded songs for the War Child cause.

You can get the CD or buy an MP3 download from Amazon for $8.99.
