Gift Horse Project and Manimal Vinyl Records are happy to present Cool For School: For the Benefit of The Lunchbox Fund available at all good digital retailers from October 11th 2011.
The album - curated by Gift Horse Project founder, activist and papercranes’ front woman Rain Phoenix - brings together an eclectic group of pivotal artists covering “school themed” songs. 100% of the profits go to The Lunchbox Fund charity. Founded by Topaz Page-Green in 2005, The Lunchbox Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a daily meal for disadvantaged and at-risk students in South African township high schools. Artwork by Gift Horse Project co-founder A.J. Mason.
