The new CD includes 11 songs from a variety of cool artists (Dan Zanes, Angelique Kidjo, Asheba, Frances England, Father Goose, etc.), ending with "Around the World" by the  Pihcintu Multinational Children's Chorus. This chorus (based in Portland, Maine) features girls and young women from refugee families and war-torn nations. Founder Con Fullam tells me that two of the new members are from Afghanistan.

In keeping with its mission to help kids explore their world, Putumayo Kids has pledged to donate $5,000 to "Five and Alive," a charity that helps kids simply to survive to age 5: http://www.psi.org/five-alive.
