Charities&Volunteering Support act

ANorth Wales independent school has launched an appeal in aid of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Myddelton College student Zeynep Sener lost a friend in the second quake, and fellow sixth-former Ekin Karabagli’s family home in Mersin was rocked by the tremors, which registered 7.8 and 7.7 on the Richter scale.

In coming together to support the two students, the school has joined with duo Brothers Abide on a music video to raise money for the victims of the disaster. International mezzo-soprano Sioned Terry and musicians in Madagascar are also part of the collaboration. Ed Brookes of Brothers Abide, who is a parent at the school, said: “We have used the whole school to create a version of the song and Sioned sings a verse in Welsh. The idea is it can be sold on Spotify and across social media to generate as much as we can for this dreadful disaster.” www.justgiving.com/page/myddelton-college-earthquake-appeal
