TinyLove_CJ Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Mika's text: To commemorate the one year anniversary of the Beirut blast, I want to share with you this new performance of my song Heroes. Originally inspired by the A.E. Housman poem “The lads in their hundreds” Heroe’s, speaks of the challenges of conflict and the more hidden victims of disasters and violence. The hidden victims, survivors, far from everyone’s eyes and ears. I also wanted to take this opportunity to give you a bit of info on how the 1m Euros raised last year was used by @lebaneseredcross and @savethechildren. @lebaneseredcross used funds to provide immediate assistance to 15,000 affected people for Health, Emergency Medical Services, Blood Transfusion Services and Basic Assistance through the provision of food and Non Food Items distribution. Your donations contributed to the 39804 Ambulance missions, 20838 distributed blood units, food parcels and hygiene kits to more than 20,000 households and support of 15,000 people with Primary Health Care. And with the help of your donations @savethechildren were able to: Provide 16,800 hot meals to families, help 535 families to repair their homes, give 5,000 kits with equipment to help clear the debris and rubble from the streets, help 236 families with cash for rent and provide multi-purpose cash transfers to 1,914 households plus support for small and medium businesses, benefitting their families and communities. Donations also helped provide mental health and psychological support to 1,358 people and one-to-one support to 277 children, give children kits, including learning resources, games and activities for their wellbeing and mental health, provide 1,250 disinfection kits to help families and 1,143 menstrual hygiene kits for women. Thank you again to all of you who were so generous. Of course if you want to get involved again there is further information available via @lebaneseredcross and @savethechildren.

TinyLove_CJ Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 My phone did not like downloading or uploading that video so I've only got round to watching it now. It's absolutely beautiful. When Heroes was first released I never truly understood the lyrics, I had my own interpretation and through my life experiences it does hold a special meaning for me. Now, especially this performance, also has a new meaning. It's now a reminder of what Lebanon has been through and all the heroes, both citizens and aid workers, that are working together to bring the city of Beirut back to life. ❤ 🇱🇧 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 He's posted a story of himself having a tourist day in Rome. He's visiting the colosseum. (Sorry, I'm not able to grab the story to post it here). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe fans started stalking him so he decided to post the rest later. 🙄 Or his internet isn't working again, the cat story also just appeared 30 or 40 minutes later, tho the time says that he posted them right after the other ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I think there might still be at least one story missing in between, where he's interrupted mid-sentence - I bet it's Instagram messing things up but guess it should all be there in a few hours or so. Love his stories, I've seen the Domus Aurea from above but didn't go inside. That light thing is pretty cool! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Story by pppiccioli (probably from their party 2 days ago?)
