David Archuleta travels to India for World Leprosy Day

27 January 2011

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae which mainly affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract and the eyes. It is curable and treatment provided in the early stages averts disability. India accounts for the highest cases of leprosy, followed by Brazil and Indonesia, according to the Times of India.

January 31 is World Leprosy Day, and David Archuleta is flying to India to celebrate with Rising Star Outreach. He will spend several days there volunteering with RSO. He will ride with a Mobile Medical Unit to a leprosy colony and assist the doctors with their work. He’ll meet each of the patients and touch them, not only with his music, but literally, as well. He will be able to see the progress of the micro-businesses and talk with the business owners, giving encouragement and support…

David will be inaugurating the Pathway of Hope, cutting the ribbon, and walking the path! Archuleta fans worldwide have helped raise over $40,000 for several projects on the property of Rising Star Outreach, including the Pathway of Hope, a granite lined pathway created with motivational inscriptions from fans.

Thanks to Angels for a Cause for this news and information.

Happy Thanksgiving, DA Honeybees!

Bee and turkey cartoonAt DA Buzzing we’re hitting the Thanksgiving trail to meet up with family and friends. We’ll return soon and pick up David Archuleta’s trail, but until then, here’s a poem for you. Imagine David singing it!

We wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving!

Over the River
by Linda Maria Child

Over the river and through the wood
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the wood,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow~
It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood~
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

DA David Archuleta Song of the Week

15 November 2010





by

Respond

SongsThere are only two songs on David Archuleta’s second pop album that he didn’t have a hand in writing. One is “Falling Stars” (Song of the Week on November 1) and the other is “Complain”. The latter’s lyrics would suit any musician whose life is spent on the road. “So far away from my home / And everything that I love / But as long as I’m breathing / Baby, I can’t complain.”

“Complain”
by David Archuleta


Recently David Archuleta took the stage at the Girl Up Pep Rally in Los Angeles, California. Before singing “Complain,” he told the audience how much his mother and sisters have influenced him. He talked about how Girl Up is a great cause which supports the empowerment of girls.

David Archuleta with Childrens Miracle Network, Washington D.C. October 2010Children’s Miracle Network has grown dramatically since its founding in 1983 from a televised fundraiser in a small studio to one of North America’s leading children’s charities. Founded by Marie Osmond and her family, John Schneider, Mick Shannon, and Joe Lake, CMN has raised more than $3.4 billion since 2008—most of it donated a dollar or two at a time. Children’s Miracle Network is guided by two simple goals:

1. Help as many children as possible by raising funds for children’s hospitals.
2. Keep funds in the community in which they were raised to help local children.

Attention David Archuleta fans: your donation will help raise money for this worthy cause and you might win a cool David Archuleta-styled denim handbag. Visit Angels for a Cause to see all the artistic bags. With a donation of at least $10.00, your name will be placed in the drawing. The It’s in the Bag contest ends November 23.

Good luck!

David Archuleta can only go ‘The Other Side of Down’ in latest album
by Karen Datangel at Baby You’ll Be Famous
8 November 2010

If you can keep track of all your American Idol seasons, you’ll remember that the fresh-faced David Archuleta came in second place to rocker David Cook in the show’s seventh season in 2008. But other than his sticky-sweet youthful looks and charm, Archuleta won over audiences and a loyal fanbase with his soaring renditions of inspirational tunes such as “Imagine” and “Angels.” Two years later, following a stellar debut and a holiday release, the 19-year-old Utahn shows even more growth as an artist with a new studio album, The Other Side of Down.

In The Other Side of Down, Archuleta stays true to his clean-cut image…
