Printing company from Elandsdoorn supports Ndlovu Youth Choir

On July 15, the Ndlovu Youth Choir will be visited by the One Chamber Choir from Singapore.

The One Chamber Choir is an ensemble of young adults that was founded in 2009. The choir is particularly known for its international performances. It is now visiting the Ndlovu Youth Choir in Elandsdoorn.

As a welcome event, there will be a free concert for everyone at the Miracle Theater. This is the start of a whole series of events. Ndlovu Youth Choir will perform at a bank event in Johannesburg next Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday they will perform in Pretoria at Times Square Menlyn.

The Ndlovu team decided to have Ndlovu Youth Choir shirts made so that the choir would look professional and uniform on arrival.

The primary goal of the Ndlovu Care Group is to support the local economy. A printing company in Elandsdoorn was found and commissioned to print T-shirts for the choir.

Nano Holding is a small company run by a young woman that has created jobs for the local population. Hugo and Liesje Tempelman took the time to visit the print shop and were very impressed and happy with the quality of the work.

Children get a voice – in the Ndlovu Youth Choir

The performance of the Ndlovu Youth Choir is becoming increasingly successful. The colorful, uniform costumes, the perfect choreography, the revised website (choir.africa) – all this speaks for a completely new direction of this project. The choir is increasingly booked as a rousing ensemble. The order calendar is filling up.

The idea of giving the choir a more professional direction and establishing it as an employer that secures employment and income for its members is increasingly proving to be a step in the right direction. Children’s and youth work is not being neglected. On the contrary, an additional pillar is being created for the established members who would like to focus their future on musical entertainment. They no longer have to leave when they reach a certain age. They can now continue to use and develop what they have learned over the years. The work with the children has become even more sustainable. At the same time, it gives the choir the opportunity to promise performances regardless of school and exam times. This is because the professionalized part of the members is always available.

This concept from the Ndlovu Care Group’s children and youth program is a showcase project. It is an example of what can happen when you dedicate yourself to people, show them the way and offer support. In the following short film, Hugo Tempelman and Ralf Schmitt, as pioneers, once again vividly describe the idea of the choir. But the children in particular also have their say here, describing their very personal connection and their individual experiences.
