"Do What You Love to End What You Hate"

Do What You Love to End What You Hate from Arts Aftercare on Vimeo.

Members of JUBILEE started our sister nonprofit Arts Aftercare. All JUBILEE cd sales go to Arts Aftercare and bring music and the arts in a healing capacity to survivors of modern slavery. Our motto is "do what you love to undo what you hate". We love music and hate the fact that children as young as 4 years old are abused in forced prostitution and slave labor. We encourage people to "give what you get" - give from your passion, what you understand, what God's put in your DNA. Go to www.artsaftercare.org to learn more, and to donate. $10/month is enough to send a Healing Arts Toolkit that brings the arts in a healing capacity to dozens of human trafficking survivors at aftercare safe homes. Much love, Curtis

You're probably thinking: "Tag-a-log... hmmm. This must be a new version of the playground standard, except everyone tries to avoid "It" while running with an armload of firewood logs."

I'd have to say, "Good guess." But you're wrong. Way wrong.

Tagalog ("tuh-GAH-lug") is the official language of the Philippines.

Now you may be thinking: "What does this have to do with JUBILEE?" Good question, and I assure you there is a point.

In fact, two members of JUBILEE, Curtis and Grace Romjue, will be traveling to the Philippines at the end of this month (along with their nearly two-year-old daughter, Harper) as part of a team representing Arts Aftercare.

Even more worthy of the Jubilog, all members of JUBILEE will be performing on Saturday, February 18 at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center as part of a Philippines Send-Off Party, and you are invited!

If you've ever wanted to learn more about Arts Aftercare, or wished you could join forces with us in some capacity, this is your night! Our volunteers will have some truly inspirational stories to share, and we'll give you the opportunity to get plugged in. Or you can just hang out, drink beer, and listen to music. (Plus, JUBILEE's own Steven Wilbur will represent with spoken word! Reason enough to attend.)

Here are the details for the night:
