Capri Everitt, an 11-year-old girl from Vancouver, Canada and her family will travel to 80 countries to sing 80 anthems in 41 languages in an effort to raise $1 million for SOS Children’s Villages, an organization that builds families for orphaned and abandoned children in 134 countries. During her travels, Capri will sing the national anthem of each country in the national language with the local children.
The Everitts have travelled through 17 countries so far in the Caribbean and Central America and they just arrived in Bogota where Capri sang the Colombian national anthem with the children of the SOS Children's Village here today.
Capri’s Around the World in 80 Anthems Campaign has raised over $20,000 so far. Please go to www.80Anthems to hear Capri sing, get more information and to donate to this worthy cause.
