UAE-based charity Gulf for Good raised funds for children in need with the support of rock band, The Boxtones, who released the official video for their single “Humanity”, on Thursday 30th July 2020. Anne Edmondson, Chairwoman of Gulf for Good, expressed her thanks to The Boxtones, adding: "As humanity faces one of the most challenging years of our times due to the pandemic, we partnered to release this wonderful song to spread the message of solidarity and hope for a better future, which we are committed to through helping children in need ”. “We at Gulf for Good, believe every child has the right to a happy and sustainable life. We believe in education for all children, no matter of creed, colour or gender. This song is a representation of that commitment. We hope to welcome the support of people in the UAE, share awareness and help raise as much money for children in need around the world as we can." The Boxtones, a multi-award-winning Scottish/Canadian rock pop band - released the video, followed by the official single release, in support of an international campaign to raise funds for children all over the world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Gary Tierney - vocalist, guitarist & songwriter of The Boxtones, said: "Humanity is a song about hope. We wrote the song before the pandemic of 2020 to spread our message of hopeful solidarity between people of different race, class and gender. We voiced our message through the children of Dubai, from all ethnicities and walks of life, in the music video we created to support the track." The Boxtones met with Gulf for Good officials when the pandemic broke out as they had noticed a lack of support for children affected by it, said Louise Peel - , The Boxtones second vocalist. “It was an immediate fit, and we began the plans to release Humanity straight away,” she said. “We are confident that with Gulf for Good’s support and The Boxtones’ meaningful message, we will be able to help many children around the world get the help they need and access to education in these trying times ”.
