 I would prefer volunteering on a music-based fundraising initiative like in

the famous 1985 Live Aid concert. I would prefer to help the people by

giving inspiration for showing my hidden talents thru music in front of the

crowd because all of us has talents that they are hiding. They only need

an inspiration for showing those talents. It can be beneficiary to the youth

in the future and maybe can be future rock stars in their generation.
