'Hope Never Dies'
March 1, 2005

Sales of the CD have been increasing steadily, with an extra boost thanks to this latest acknowledgement, supplemented by promotional efforts from musicians and the staff at Indienetunes.com, who have been hard at work canvassing support through website postings and mass mailouts. Some donors have given well over the asking price for the album - great news for the long task ahead for Mercy Corps as they work with survivors of the Tsunami to rebuild economically productive lives out of the shattered ruins.
