Ethan Zhang, Kevin J., Emily, Aayush Bhakey , Aadi Tiwari, Aarya Ravel, Anish Alur, Claire from Basking Ridge, and Valerie and Aaron Combs from Bridgewater were inspired by a video of children singing from their home while quarantined in their homes in China and put together a video of them singing "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson.

Michelle Yang and her son Ethan Zhang came up with an idea to use a video and sound editing software and social media to help children to perform together.

"This song is heartwarming. It has the power of cure the many sorrow hearts," said Ethan.

Michelle reached out to family friends and some parents of the William Annin Middle School's 7th grade to see if their children wanted to participate in this music video project.

"We did this for our friends and community. We hope our video will cheer people up and bring people together," said Ethan.
