Pogo goes to Kenya:

Previous Pogo on the Dish here. Update from a reader:

I just thought it might be worth mentioning that the girl singing in the video is named Ann. She is an orphan living at the Flying Kites children’s home in Njabini, Kenya. It’s a wonderful place that gives a lifetime home to orphaned children and runs a school for the local kids as well. My wife and I visited and volunteered there on our honeymoon and remain huge supporters. I’ve never met such a wonderful group of people and would encourage your readers to check them out.

When Leonard Cohen wrote “Hallelujah” back in 1984, the world didn’t take immediate notice. And the song only began its journey toward becoming a classic when it was later recorded by John Cale and Jeff Buckley. Now, it’s one of the more widely covered songs out there. Rufus Wainwright, k.d. lang, Bono, Willie Nelson, Alexandra Burke – they’ve all paid homage to the song. So have lesser-known musicians too, like this street musician, Petr Spatina, who recorded a version with crystal glass. Be sure to watch it all the way through.
