The Home of Hope for Girls is putting on a concert to raise funds for the home and needs the public’s participation.
Bedfordview, South Africa (25 July 2024) – The forthcoming 67 Minutes of Hope Concert in Bedfordview is set to be an unmissable event featuring over a dozen performers in a feast of song, dance and poetry. What is unusual about it is that all the performers are survivors of trafficking. Each singer, dancer or poet is herself a testament to the fact that no one need be defined by their background.
Art is the language of the soul and these girls will certainly touch yours.
“When those girls sing and dance it just gives me goosebumps, they are something else!” – Irish Arts Magazine, Ireland
The performers are in full-time loving care in Home of Hope for Girls in Johannesburg, with a house in Cyrildene and one in Kensington, the self-started organisation currently cares for over 80 girls. There they have begun to overcome trauma and learnt to take pride in their talent … and they are a very, very talented group. They have emerged triumphant and are ready to shine!
The concert, organised by a team of volunteers and the girls themselves, promises to be an uplifting event for all the family. Over the course of the hour and seven minutes audiences will enjoy a tremendous variety of material as contemporary and traditional elements merge beautifully. Excellent vocalists will perform solo and duet singing, and there will be soaring choir pieces, interspersed with traditional and contemporary dance performances and original poetry.
The aim is to offer an uplifting and joyous show while raising funds for the organisation as part of Tata Mandela’s 67 Minutes of Giving.
There are three performances in total: two on Saturday July 27th at 11 am and again at 3 pm, and the last one on Sunday July 28th at 3 pm. They all take place in the beautiful, spacious hall of Reddam House, Bedfordview.
Tickets priced at R200 are available from Quicket and all proceeds go to support Home of Hope for Girls. You can get yours here.
