Vukani Mawethu Choir: Our Feb/Mar Featured Cause

In February and March, we are rallying 29Givers to support the mother of our movement, Mbali Creazzo. Mbali is the medicine woman who gave Cami, our founder, the 29 Gifts prescription. Mbali sings wtih the Vukani Mawethu Choir.

In April 2009, Mbali and the Vukani Mawethu Choir will be traveling to South Africa, where their performances will raise money for various humanitarian projects, such as AIDS clinics and orphanages. For Mbali, this trip is a return to her homeland, but this is no vacation. She and the choir will be traveling to six cities and three countries in less than four weeks, from South Africa, to Mozambique, and Nambia. 100% of the money they raise will go to the organizations and clinics where they have been invited to sing, to aid those in need.

Traveling to Africa is expensive. Mbali needs to raise $6,300 by March 31, 2009 to make this one-month trip possible. This money will cover lodging, food, other travel expenses and a portion will be donated directly to worthy causes throughout the trip.

The Vukani Mawethu Choir sings out against racism and injustice whenever and wherever possible. They performed directly behind Nelson Mandela before 78,000 at the Oakland Coliseum in June 1990. Vukani Mawethu has won three Emmy Awards for their 1997 documentary of their last cultural tour through South Africa.
