 |
Summit Women are exceptionally
talented and gifted. TV producer, Director and songwriter-recording
artist, Margaret is a classic example. Embracing her love for children
and music, Margaret single-handedly inspired and then launched International Children's Day which is celebrated around the world, each year on June 1. According to Margaret: "Music follows us from the moment we are born to the moment we die, from joy to sorrows, from a mother's lullaby to hymns at funerals". |
