I Play For Peace

    My name is Ben and I am thirteen years old and I’m in seventh grade. I have been playing guitar for ten years. I play guitar for children in Iraq that are disabled and need wheelchairs. Each wheelchair costs $350.00. My goal is to raise ONE MILLION DOLLARS and help at least 3,333 CHILDREN! I played guitar for hurricane Katrina. I raised about five-hundred dollars. I am trying to play guitar for children in Iraq every weekend for two hours. I started playing guitar for these kids when my mom was crying and reading an e-mail from her friend who is also helping.
