Capri now holds an official Guinness World Record for "most national anthems sung in their host countries in one year" after completing her journey around the world to 80 countries where she sang the national anthem of each country in the national language.  

Here are the official Guinness World Record videos:

We did it!! We have now completed our mission to travel to 80 countries where Capri sang the national anthem of each country in the national language to raise money for children everywhere who have been affected by war, poverty, climate change or other unfortunate circumstances, specifically through SOS Children's Villages International.  This charity works in 134 countries and has over 540 children's villages throughout the world.  The journey began on November 20, 2015 at Unicef's Universal Children's Day celebrations in Ottawa where Capri sang the Canadian National Anthem and speak as SOS Children's Villages youngest Youth Ambassador. She completed her 80th anthem at a Washington Nationals Game on August 12, 2016.

Why 80 Countries?

We decided to go for a twist on the classical novel by Jules Verne: Around the World in 80 Days. This is not just about visiting countries however; this is about bringing children together through the common language of music.  Capri thought that many children might not know famous pop songs but that they would know their national anthem and therefore she could sing it with them in their national language.  She is hoping that her actions will inspire children around the world to use their talents to help make a better world for people everywhere.
