"Take a Breath"
is a spoken-word piece by "A Bunch of Guys" from the New
England Synod (www.takeabreath.org). The group has
recorded two CDs and contributed all proceeds to the
ELCA World Hunger Appeal; over $135,000 so far. Their
"Take a Breath" piece observes that a person dies of
hunger or hunger-related causes every 3.6 seconds, every
deep breath we take. [On the DVD, "Take a Breath" is joined with photos from East Africa.]
