156 Countries Sing Together



On December 7th, 2009 at 1:30pm musicians from all around the world came together and shared a song.  At that  moment musicians from 156 countries played "All You Need is Love" together.

Lend your own voice to http://StarbucksLoveProject.com  Watch streaming video from countries around the world and then join in by singing "All You Need is Love" yourself. For each video submitted, Starbucks will make a contribution to the Global Fund to help fight AIDS in Africa. You can also help increase the Starbucks contribution to the Global Fund by submitting a drawing to the Love Gallery.

The global sing-along is part of continuing efforts to help fight AIDS in Africa. In just one year in partnership with (RED)™, Starbucks has generated money equivalent to more than 7 million days of medicine to help those living with HIV in Africa. (RED), created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, is a brand designed to engage business and consumer power in the fight against AIDS in Africa. (RED) works with the world's biggest brands to make unique RED-branded products and direct up to 50% of their gross profits to the Global Fund to invest in African AIDS programs, with a focus on the health of women and children.
