The Mzansi Youth Choir is preparing to give the best performance of the year, delighting the audience with carols for charity.

 

South Africa (13 November 2024) – The South African Guide Dog Association is set to be the recipient of funds raised at the Carols on the Piazza at Melrose Arch later this month. The carols will be sung by none other than the Mzansi Youth Choir.

Christmas carols always bring such joy at this time of year. There are so many community events happening this year. Many are teaming up with special causes, and this year, the South African Guide Dog Association will be one of the beneficiaries of a community carols event.

This year, Melrose Arch’s Carols on the Piazza aims to give back to the community by raising funds for the visually impaired and proceeds will be shared between two beneficiaries.

The first is the South African Guide Dogs Association, that breeds, trains, and places both guide and service dogs, empowering individuals with visual, physical, and developmental disabilities to lead more independent lives.

Then, guide dog owner Cornelle Leach, who suffers from Stangardts Dystrophy and requires a second surgery to restore her vision, will also benefit. Leach works at a company in the precinct and has inspired South Africans with her perseverance and bravery in aiming to restore her sight by pursuing electro-stimulation therapy that incorporates new advances in biotechnology.

So, if you are ready to give back, warm up that voice and join the festivities alongside the Mzansi Youth Choir, all in the name of doing good!

The event is taking place on the 23rd of November 2024 from 18:30 to 20:00. You can find out how to join on the day here.
