Sponsored by consumer goods producer P&G, the concert is titled, Unify the Tunes, Make Indonesian Children’s Dreams Come True.

“[The event] is more than just singing songs, as 100 percent of the proceeds will be used to build schools and other educational facilities,” Anggun was quoted as saying during a press conference attended by kompas.com on Monday.
