WILLET, the band, (www.willetonline.com) in conjunction with FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY (www.fh.org/willetonline) will be presenting a multicultural tour during the upcoming school years. Please take a few minutes to read about us, our purpose, and what we have to offer you, your students and the community.

Our Goal:

We want to challenge and educate students to use their unique gifts and talents to be positive influences for change within their communities. We will be presenting an opportunity to sponsor a child from Africa as a group, individually or as a family to specifically impact a village in Ethiopia. The child sponsorship is strictly optional, and used as an example of how we can slowly make an impact on poverty.

About Us

-Jeremy, Justin, and Jordan Willet, from Westminster, Maryland, attended FSK High School before beginning their musical career

-For the past 4 years, we have toured the United States, and Ethiopia, Africa, performing over 250 dates per year

-We are involved with child sponsorship in Africa, partnering with Food for the Hungry to sponsor over 500 children and raising over $500,000.00 for children living in poverty.

-In 2007 the band sponsored an entire poverty stricken village called Zeway in Ethiopia, and will return to this village in 2009.

-A film crew chronicled the bands firsthand experiences with the devastating poverty during a 10-day trip to Zeway, Ethiopia

-The band has shared the Zeway story with many and is continuing to tour and share their positive uplifting message about making a difference in the lives of others.
