Hello! This week I would like to talk about Red Nose Day. Red Nose Day is a huge fundraising event which raises money to help end extreme poverty and support vulnerable, disadvantaged people across Africa and the UK. British/Irish boy band One Direction has teamed up with this fundraiser and released a single to help raise money for this amazing charity. The single is a cover of Blondie's song, One Way Or Another. In an M Magazine interview, Niall Horan, a member of the band, said, “We are really excited to be part of Red Nose Day this year. We recorded Blondie’s One Way or Another and we really want the song to raise lots of money and for people to show their support by going out and buying themselves a copy.” Louis Tomlinson, another member, also said, “Getting the chance to perform Blondie’s song will be incredible. We’re so excited! Red Nose Day is a great excuse to have a lot of fun and to raise money, please get involved.” This single is released on iTunes on February 18th here in the US and in other countries but February 17th in the UK. Below you can listen to the single that was played for the first time on the UK radio BBC Radio 1:
Also, while working with Red Nose Day, the boys of One Direction were able to visit Accra, Ghana to see all of those homeless and sick children there and help out. The boys spent two days in the Ghanaian capital. There, they visited a hospital and spoke to many families with sick children. Many children there suffered with pneumonia and other diseases. Each year, about 1.7 million children die from vaccine-preventable diseases all around the world. That means one child dies every 20 seconds. This whole experience, according to Harry, Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis, has changed there lives. All of the proceeds from the
charity single will go to the charity and help protect the babies. Here are a few pictures of One Direction in Ghana.
