This is the accompanying CD to the MAE Foundation's first Song Book.

The MAE Foundation (www.maefoundation.org.uk) provides musical instruments and tuition to refugee children on the border between Burma and Thailand. It helps children in Thailand to access music and supports the introduction of musical instrument craft. MAE believes in the both the healing and the earning power of music.

The songs have been written to help children in refugee camps on the borders between Burma and Thailand to learn the ukuleles and tin whistles that the MAE Foundation has given to them. The MAE Foundation organises music lessons for children in these camps, and the teachers help them to work their way through the Song Book.

Each song has lyrics so that the children can sing them as well as play them with their instruments. There is space in the song book under the lyrics for the children to write translations in their own language. This enables them to learn English as well as music.
The music was written by the charity's founder Richard Harvey and the songs were performed by him with help from children at the Harrow School in Bangkok and at St Mary's RC School in London

The album was recorded on site at both schools and at Karma Sound Studios, Thailand (http://www.karmasoundstudios.com)
