During the recording sessions for what would turn out to be its final studio album, Audio Adrenaline recorded "Blood Brothers" - a song about "unity and the body of Christ coming together to reach out to the ones in need," according to frontman Mark Stuart.The song didn't make the final cut for 2005's Until My Heart Caves In, but speaks to the heart of what the group attempts to accomplish through its Hands and Feet Project (HAFP), a village for orphans in Jacmel, Haiti.
Fittingly, the song is now being offered as a $1.00 download, with all proceeds going to Hands and Feet. The village currently cares for 24 children ranging in age from two months to nine years, and expects to house about 40 children by year's end.
Land for the project was purchased in 2004 and construction began in 2005, according to the organization's website. Flooding caused by Tropical Storm Noel caused delays, but building has reportedly recommenced. The organization hopes to replicate the model it has created, with its next project slated to begin soon in Nicaragua.
More funds for Hands and Feet are being raised through an online auction featuring autographed items from the likes of Mat Kearney, TobyMac, Jars of Clay, Relient K and Audio Adrenaline, among others.
