Why do you support ALTSO?
I support ALTSO because they care for the children in developing countries who have no other means to lead normal lives. The team at ALTSO is one of the best at any charity anywhere. They know how to stretch limited funds to the maximum benefits for the #coolkids. My dream is to help ALTSO get enough resources to help another 25,000 kids in the next decade! And also, because I can play music while giving back!
