[Sunday Times=Chris Lee Reporter]Maria Monique Lastwish Foundation, founded by Natalia Tjahja, moves to take care of disabled children, children with needs and also the elderly with needs. The foundation was established on December 22nd, 2006. Until this very moment, the organization continues to help the community.
Maria Monique Lastwish Foundation has a few regular programs, among which are distributing wheelchairs, building Maria Monique Happy Rooms, Maria Monique Happy Fashion, Charity Movie for the World, ‘Boccia’ Movie, Asia Cooking Journeys, The Wishes Happy Homes and last but not least Charity Songs for the World.
‘Charity Songs to the world’ are non-profit and have no commercial values. By the grace of God, Natalia composed the song ‘Will to Heal’ in April 2011 in English and she also translated it into Indonesian. This song was arranged by 2 Maestro musicians; Purwa Caraka and Santoso Gondowidjojo by including gamelan elements for the Indonesian version of the music.
There are 2 people whom Natalia trusts to become the executive producers; Harnoto Darsono for Shanghai and Nandhamalee Bhirombhakdi, Managing Director of Cavallino Motors Ferrari Thailand for Thailand.
The song will be mixed mastering in 3 countries; Singapore, Tokyo and Bangkok. Singer Yukina Mebuki will be doing her own mixing mastering in Tokyo.
The lyrics of the song Will to Heal were translated into Chinese by the legendary Chinese singer Wu Qiang and translated into Japanese by the best Japanese artist, Maki Starfield.
Not long ago, singers all over Asia recorded ‘Will to Heal’. Chinese actor and top model Danzi Daji, legendary singer Wu Qiang, child singer Yihe Lin recorded the song in Shanghai.
At the same time, former Takarazuka Revue singer Yukina Mebuki recorded this song in Tokyo whereas in Thailand, the first winner of American Protege 2018 , Beam Voranan Bhirombhakdi , recorded this song.
As in Indonesia, one of the country’s Diva, Titiek Puspa will record the song ‘Will to Heal’ in the near future.
The process of recordings is unique because Natalia does not speak Japanese, Chinese nor Thai, while the singers above also do not speak Indonesian and English but they can communicate well and the recording runs superbly.
Many top vocalists and musicians have also failed to record this song before and according to Natalia, to sing this song, you must have faith and believe in destiny.
