You probably thought this was going to be about the creation of man and evolution.

No, this is about a group of young people from New York City, who at the age of eleven or so (the beginning of fifth grade) decided to start a band. I learned about these marvelous young people during their appearance on the Montel Williams Show. Yes, a lot of young people have that dream, and a lot of them start their bands. The band Creation is different. No, they are not Baha’i youth. They are a diverse group of kids with a dream, big enough to change lives. Creation name was chosen because of the happiness they achieve from writing music and creating songs. Creation and its members also want to create better, more peaceful world. Their music is all original and written by either Molly, Raechel and Thomas collectively or individually.

The band Creation, were looking for a charity to support and after Raechel’s parents had attended a benefit for We Are Family Foundation, decided that was going to be the beneficiary of their music. Creation recorded their first CD with ten songs titled “World Without Windows” with 100% of the profits going to building a school in Africa. They will be sending ten young people that don’t normally have the opportunity to go to Africa to help build the school. Creation's, first real performance was at a school talent show. Then they moved onto the Hard Rock Café in New York City. Their next show was a charity concert at BB King’s Blues Club. Creation is even on a billboard on Times Square.

You can check out these, eloquent, young people’s band out at the following link. Listen to a sampling of their music and what they have to say, maybe even buy their CD.

It is wonderful to see young people trying to make the world a better place!
