South Africa | Day 3 | Nkosi’s Haven

24 Jun

Nkosi’s Haven is an NGO in South Africa who provide care and support for HIV/AIDS infected mothers, her children, and resulting AIDS orphans (infected or not).

We had the opportunity to visit the Nkosi’s Haven village in Alan Manor, Johannesburg. The village covers 2.5 acres of land, and it houses 31 mothers and 98 children, of which roughly half are orphaned.

As soon as we arrived the community made us feel really welcome, and the children just wanted to hug, play, sing and dance…



We sang UNITE with the children singing the chorus and played some music games. Jus Rolle gave the kids a  motivational speech making them smile and encouraging them to nurture their talent and perform with confidence.

Music can have a healing power, it really does change lives.

There is proof of that at Nkosi’s Haven… :)
