Further Delays for Dhani and the Wu Tang Clan

Hello everyone,

Further delays for Dhani and the Wu Tang Clan
The Wu Tang Clan ring-leader RZA has pushed back the release of the bands' album '8 Diagrams' by one week in response to Clan-renegade Ghostface Killah's complaint that his own album was being released on the same day. The new Wu Tang Clan album which features Dhani Harrison on the track 'The Heart Gently Weeps' is now scheduled for release on 11th December so as not to clash with Ghostface's 'Big Dough Rehab', still slated for a 4th December release date.

The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF Teams Up with Students for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Every dollar collected by students this Halloween for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF can have twice the impact

NEW YORK, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Students and teachers around the country who participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, The Original Kids Helping Kids(R) campaign, have a new reason to get excited about Halloween. This year The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF has teamed up with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to match, dollar-for-dollar, the money raised by schools through this 57-year-old tradition. In keeping with UNICEF's core mission, which recognizes education as a key component to child survival, proceeds from the matching grant will be used to support UNICEF's Schools for Africa program. This program provides communities with a sustainable solution for education, with a special focus on girls, orphans and vulnerable children, such as those who have been impacted as a result of HIV/AIDS. "We are delighted and honored that The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF continues their commitment to the world's children by so generously participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF," said Caryl M. Stern, president and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. "UNICEF's Schools for Africa program aims to accelerate access to quality basic education for children in Africa- with this matching grant we will move one step closer to making this a reality." More than 35 years ago, George Harrison, the legendary musician and humanitarian, set a precedent that music could be used to serve a higher cause. In 1971, using his fame and the power of music, Harrison organized the historic concert for Bangladesh. At the time, the country was ravaged by floods, famine and a civil war, leaving 10 million people homeless. The ground-breaking concert, along with sales from the film and the album, provided an extraordinary $15 million for UNICEF's emergency efforts on behalf of children and families, focusing global attention on the crisis and raising the consciousness of millions of the world's citizens, musicians and music fans to UNICEF's unique, life-saving programs. Today, The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF keeps alive it's tradition of saving children's lives with this extraordinary opportunity by matching dollar-for-dollar what schools raise for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Participating classrooms around the country will receive dynamic, colorful information packets that include: details on the matching grant program, a world map, information on the three countries (Mozambique, Angola and Rwanda) identified as having the greatest need for the Schools for Africa program, and a DVD with an appeal from Dhani Harrison, a musician in his own right and son of the late George Harrison, on ways teachers may complement their Trick-or- Treat for UNICEF fundraising efforts. In order to have their gifts matched dollar-for-dollar, classrooms are advised to write "GHFU Match" on their check, money order or Coinstar(R) receipt and submit their collections by the December 31, 2007 deadline. Free Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF boxes are available at all Hallmark Gold Crown(R) stores and all Pier 1 Imports(R) stores. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, a Halloween tradition beloved by generations, is one of America's longest-running youth volunteer activities. Every year children across the country participate with their families, schools and communities to raise millions of dollars for UNICEF. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF supporters have collected more than $136 million since 1950, including more than $4.5 million in 2006. ABOUT The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF is a joint undertaking between the Harrison family and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF that aims to support UNICEF programs, providing lifesaving assistance to children caught in humanitarian emergencies. Every year, UNICEF identifies countries and territories suffering from the results of civil conflict, natural disaster and poverty- countries where children are vulnerable to malnutrition, disease, exploitation and abuse. As with Bangladesh in the 1970's, many of these emergencies are still virtually ignored by the media and critically under funded. In the tradition established by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF continues to support UNICEF programs in Bangladesh while expanding its influence to include other countries in crisis where children are at risk. For more information about The George Harrison Fund for UNICEF please visit: http://www.georgeharrisonfundforunicef.org. ABOUT UNICEF For more than 60 years, UNICEF has been the world's leading international children's organization, working in over 150 countries to address the ongoing issues that affect why kids are dying. UNICEF provides lifesaving nutrition, clean water, education, protection and emergency response saving more young lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. While millions of children die every year of preventable causes like dehydration, upper respiratory infections and measles, UNICEF, with the support of partnering organizations and donors alike, has the global experience, resources and reach to give children the best hope of survival.
