[image: Livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety3>Today *Tuesday
November 29 2016* at *7:30pm* the *Syrian American Medical Society
Foundation <https://www.facebook.com/SyrianAmericanMedicalSociety/>* (SAMS)
will hold *“…And He Will Be Our Brother”
<https://www.facebook.com/events/104608563353194/>* - a jazz concert to
benefit with the aim of raising funds that will help SAMS to continue their
work of providing medical care, supplies and training to doctors in Syrian
conflict zones, as well as to lead projects that will strengthen and
protect hospitals from future attacks. Musicians playing include *Edmar
Castañeda*, *Jeff 'Tain' Watts*, *Kevin Hays*, *Gregoire Maret*, *John
Ellis*, *Matt Clohesy*, *Magos Herrera*, *Vitor Gonçalves*, *Rogerio
Boccato* and the *Asaran Earth Trio*. The concert's title (“…And He Will Be
Our Brother”) was inspired by a letter of a 6-year old American boy to
President Barack Obama. In the letter, the little boy asked to welcome *Omran
Daqneesh*, the 5-year-old Syrian boy from Aleppo- whose image sitting in an
ambulance covered in blood and dust shocked the world- into his home in the
U.S. "We will give him a family, and he will be our brother", he said.
The *Internet
Society New York Chapter <http://isoc-ny.org>* will sponsor the live
webcast of this event on the *Internet Society Livestream Channel*.
