Supporter Spotlight // Hayley Reardon
Music is a driving force in the work we do here at Invisible Children. It propels our social movement and serves as a universal language. The same is true for 16-year-old singer and songwriter Hayley Reardon. This Boston native is much like every 16-year-old. She’s an avid reader and coffee drinker. Oh, and she used songwriting to […]
