\"\"The Young Artists For Haiti<\/b> project reached an incredible success! The song Wavin’ Flag (you can check the na video again here<\/a>), that was recorded by some of the most talented canadian artists (including Pierre from Simple Plan, Nelly Furtado, Justin Bieber, Deryck from Sum 41, Jacob from Hedley, Avril Lavigne and many more), earned already over $1 million for children and families affected by the earthquake in Haiti from digital downloads and t-shirts! <\/p>\n

Other than that, the song still remains on the top spots on radio charts nav\u00edc je\u0161t\u011b st\u00e1le setrv\u00e1v\u00e1 na prvn\u00edm m\u00edstech na r\u00e1diov\u00fdch stanic\u00edch a tak\u00e9and also is #1 on iTunes in digital downloads. More than 160 000 copies of the single have been purchased, the music video has been watched 4.5 million times and the official YAFH Facebook page reached 100 000 fans! <\/p>\n

All the proceeds will be equally distributed to charitable organisations Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision, to support their on-the-ground efforts in Haiti. <\/p>\n

If you haven’t bought the single yet, you can still get involved and purchase it on the official Young Artists For Haiti website (www.youngartistsforhaiti.net<\/a>), where (apart from the song), you can also buy a YAFH t-shirt. It’s definitely worth it!<\/p>\n
