Sing Out 2011 blogsite

Welcome to this dedicated blogsite for SING OUT our LOVE, PEACE, JOY!-2011

This global initiative seeks to cause an ever-growing number of family-based and friendship-based groups and circles to create, collate, share and frequently sing out together happy songs on universal LOVE, on real lasting PEACE, and on deep JOY, right in their homes, schools, parks, offices, etc. in an ever-growing number of localities throughout the world starting in May 2011.

The timetable for SING-OUT 2011 follows below:

January 1 - April 30: Widest introduction of the "SING-OUT 2011 project" as we can, and as it shapes up, to invite all who are reached to decide to participate in ways and to the extent that they freely choose. Further spreading the word (by forwarding its messages to many friends by various means) is one great way of participating throughout the year. (Note: We will suggest to the environmental conservation movement in the Philippines and in other countries to mobilize their members, communities and families to sing environmental advocacy songs together in their homes, parks, schools, and offices on the run-up to Earth Day, April 22 (Good Friday).

May 1 - June 30: First Period of singing out by all participating groups everywhere, with focus on the value of bringing out our happy voices together, to sing “of good things, not bad; of happy, not sad” not worrying "that it is not good enough for anyone else to hear.” (Note: May 2011 is commemoration month of the 45^th anniversary of the SING-OUT Folk Song Festival staged in Baguio, Philippines by the Baguio International Club in May 1966.)

July 1 - August 31: Second Period, with all participating groups to focus on songs with universal human LOVE as theme.

September 1 - October 31: Third Period, with all the participating groups to focus on songs with real, lasting PEACE as theme. (Note: September is the World Peace Consciousness Month as declared by the United Nations.)

November 1 - December 31: Fourth Period, with all participating groups to focus on songs with deep, profound, widely shared JOY as theme.(Note: this period embraces joyful holidays of both the Christian and Muslim communities throughout the word.).
