yeah, this "less than desired" newspaper (as Jason so put it. ) is doing a full page (all this week) on artists who are doing the tsunami benefit show on Saturday. Avril yesterday, Chantal todat, Raine's turn is tomorrow, etc.

for anybody who wants to, but can't read the article (and i don't blame them. *kicks scanner*) here it is.

Kreviazuk for the kids
Being a mom, War Child supporter prompted her to help.

Chantal Kreviazuk admits that it feels a bit weird to be coming back to Vancouver to play another benefit concert.

"There are elements of Groundhog Day to it," she says. "But that's true for Barenaked Ladies and Sarah, too."

The reference to the sold-out 2002 GM Place fundraiser that featured her and fellow Nettwerk artists. That event raised a record-breaking $1.75 million for breast cancer research. She'd like to see this Saturday knock that number out of the ballpark.

"After you become a mother, your sense of compassion reaches another level. To hear not one story of a child ripped from its mom, or for her having to choose which one to hold, but to hundreds, thousands of them, it's hard to get your head around.

Imagining these children, having to go on alone, their innocence lost, is such a hard road. It makes you feel helpless, but you must do something."

A stop-gap measure won't cut it either. So when it came to determine the recipient charities for this weekend's show, Kreviazuk threw down War Child Canada getting a quarter of all the concert proceeds.

"I'm involved with it because I know the locals on the ground, where the money goes, and I've seen it first hand."

War Child's 12-year-old Butterfly Peace Garden in Sri Lanka was originally extablished to provide music and art therapy to children victimized by 20 years of civil war. Now the high-ground center is transformed into a bustling refugee camp providing co-ordinating services throughout the region.

One of the goals of all the artists involved in the tsunami benefit was to ensure that it was well-established groups with long-term presence in their areas of operation, rather than the essential - but transitional - emergency aid organizations that received monies raised.

She explains why: "What has happened is that the whole area is being used by thousands of people who have different needs than what was originally envisioned. As time goes on, this is going to greatly impact what the programs are and require far more funding to keep the original garden concept going as well as to meet new demands.

This is going to go on for years, so I want to ensure the money goes somewhere that isn't at risk of being diverted by potentially corrupt political, or other, interests."

Although she's yet to go to the Butterfly Peace Garden, a 2002 tour of Iraq with a War Child mission cemented her connection to the charity.

"The lesson I took home from it was that when we ostracize, or forget, about a nation or people, there are senseless deaths, particularly children. A lot of them die from easily avoidable causes. I can only imagine what it's like now."

She won't be back to check on conditions in the war-ravaged zone soon. Kreviazuk is expecting her second son soon and embarking on a new career direction: songwriter for hire.

"It's nice, because I'm up there with songs on CDs by Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne, but I'm not the one worrying about the pimple on my face on TV and so on. I expected it to go this way. It's different, but productive, allowing me to be a wife, a mom, a daughter and to write more."

A born performer and the class clown at benefit shows, she insists having husband Raine Maida along for Saturday's gig will "keep her in line."
