Jordan Hart introduces “L’Arche Sundays” to his 100-day busking challenge

Posted 2019-04-15

“I have never learned how to love more purely and profoundly than through people with intellectual disabilities.”

Jordan Hart is a talented musician-singer-songwriter (http://www.jordanhartsound.com/) who loves to bring his music to the streets. Jordan writes, “I am doing a 100-day busking challenge in which I will be busking for 100 days in a row rain or shine. I was inspired to do this for many reasons, but the lead objective is to bring people together from all walks of life to celebrate connection through music.” The challenge goes until Canada Day.

Jordan is also the son of Grant and Lynette Kaminski. He grew up as part of L’Arche Edmonton when his dad was community leader there. (Grant is now a member of the L’Arche Canada Foundation Board.) Every Sunday, Jordan will raise money for L’Arche Canada through the Kaminski Family endowment. He will also raise awareness of L’Arche with the people attending his free concerts and with his fans through social media. Here is a clip of Jordan singing and introducing L’Arche with John Guido and Greg Lannan from L’Arche Toronto. https://youtu.be/ikRPQ0JY-pI
