The Green Children, Marlow & Milla
International recording artists The Green Children, a euro-pop duo, brings its message of hope and inspiration for change to the 2010 Energy Trust Better Living Show. Hailing from England and Norway, artists Milla Sunde and Marlow Bevan use their musical talents to help those in need, offering healthcare support, microcredit, and education scholarships worldwide.
Throughout the Better Living Show, The Green Children are hosting free concerts, signing autographs, explaining microcredit and its opportunities, and displaying videos from their work in poverty-stricken nations. Additionally, 15 percent of CD sales during the three-day event will be donated to future projects of The Green Children Foundation.
“The Green Children are devoted to fostering charity throughout the world using their musical talents as a platform,” said Cheryl Bogart, The Green Children’s Publicist. “I wanted them to be a part of events that had a meaningful message behind them and the Better Living Show was one of them.”
The Green Children’s journey began at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, when Sunde and Bevan realized their desire to create a pop group was mutual. Sunde’s melodious tones and Bevan’s instrumentation caught the ear of Universal Music Group in the U.S. in 2008. They have also partnered with Whole Foods Market and Whole Planet Foundation. Philip Sansone, President of Whole Planet Foundation calls The Green Children, “Angels of positive change” who “Whole Foods Market and Whole Planet Foundation are enormously proud to have as a partner.”
In 2005, Sunde and Bevan established The Green Children Foundation, which supports microcredit, education and healthcare in at-risk nations. The funds received from their musical endeavors help fund projects carried out by The Green Children Foundation. In 2006, The Green Children partnered with Nobel Peace Prize recipient Professor Muhammad Yunus and launched a campaign in Norway, where they sold a CD/DVD package throughout the country. Together, they raised over $50,000 to build one of the first eye hospitals in rural Bangladesh. The hospital works toward serving 50,000 people per year, with 10,000 of those receiving vital cataracts operations, to escape from lives of blindness.
“We believe in promoting positive stories that highlight the solution, not the problem,” explained The Green Children. “Together as a community we can have a real voice and make a direct difference for the people who need it.”
