Sharon Katz & The Peace Train were working with border children in San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico for a concert this month, when the Coronavirus Quarantine changed everything.
Her work with the children has continued remotely, with all of them collaborating on a new song, “We Know What To Do (Sabemos Que Hacer)”
Watch the video below
“Our big Peace Train border crossing and tour by train in Mexico with children and families is scheduled for October 9-11, 2020.”
Over the past 3 years since Sharon started working with border children, 88% of them have improved their grades in school, and 99% of their parents believe the children will stay in school compared to over 70% of the youth in Tijuana.
It’s important to note that because of Sharon’s music program, 92% of their parents say they’re no longer worried that their children would join gangs or get involved with the drug cartels. While COVID-19 is shutting most things down, the Mexican drug cartels and trafficking rings are looking for new recruits.
Sharon Katz & the Peace Train’s had a lot of work cancelled including a special performance for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Sharon’s earnings help facilitate her humanitarian work, which she performs with her group, solo, and as a duo. Her performances are inspirational.
Sharon & the Peace Train came to prominence in South Africa, in 1992, right after apartheid crumbled, and Nelson Mandela became President.
