Big Change was released the day before yesterday. Natalie Portman, as an Ambassador of Hope, has worked with iTunes to create this exclusive digital album by hand picking songs from a number of great artists such as Norah Jones. The proceedings will go to the FINCA anti-poverty organization. FINCA International provides financial services to the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs
so they can create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of
living.
The album (link goes to iTunes store and may try to launch your iTunes application) goes for $7.99 and includes a digital booklet including pictures from Portman's recent trip to Africa.

A big thank you to Natalie Portman - for whom I have a very high respect both as an actress and as a person - as well as all the artists who have contributed to this album.
