WATCH THE WE RISE MILLON VOICE CHOIR MUSIC VIDEO OF PEACEFUL VOICES FROM AROUND THE WORLD!

In January 2002, after the tragedy of September 11th, in the sacred village of Bodh Gaya, India, half a million peaceful warriors joined with HH Dalai Lama in Prayer for World Peace. It was at this magical gathering where Gemma Bulos envisioned the Million Voice Choir and the WE RISE Mission was born.

Gemma founded the non-profit organization A Single Drop which launched the Million Voice Choir, a global peace mission to unite people around water and see this vital element as a source of peace in the 21st Century. This annual global songfest mobilizes voices worldwide to sing WE RISE, a rousing anthem that uses water as a metaphor for ‘unity in action' and in 2003 declared the "New Human World Anthem at the United Nations". The Million Voice Choir uses music as a means to gain access to a population that would not otherwise be engaged in the issues surrounding water. The choir serves as the unified voice for water's cause and WE RISE carries it's message. This rousing call for peace is an invitation for everyone to see and feel the magnitude of a simple action as it's effects ripple outward.

The Million Voice Choir became the catalyst for A Single Drop to enhance the mission to promote water and music as a source of peace and unity by implementing clean water projects. Like water, Gemma has been traveling around the globe for 8 years performing, speaking and inviting people to join the ‘Choir' and encouraging them to take responsibility for the protection and preservation of their water resources. To date, the Million Voice Choir has sung WE RISE in over 100 cities in over 60 countries. And A Single Drop has helped over 70,000 people have clean water in Asia and Africa!  Gemma is the living example of "a single drop" starting a wave!
