Throughout the Spring, AMADI is giving you exclusive, uncut footage from the recent Haiti Relief Concert at Community of Hope. First up, Reaction Band!

The recent tragedy in Haiti has many people thinking about how they can help the relief efforts. Peculiar People, a Gospel GoGo Band from the DC metropolitan area, had the idea of putting on a benefit concert, with all of the proceeds going towards relief efforts in Haiti. On Martin Luther King Day of this year, the concert was successfully held, raising over $5,000 for the cause.
