We are very proud to announce that Peter Maffay’s anthem for the 25th anniversary of this year’s RTL telethon will be supported by the Ndlovu Youth Choir. The song “Hoffnung” was written in collaboration with Michael Patrick Kelly. For 25 years, RTL has been collecting donations for children in need, giving them a lot of hope.
“It’s also the perfect song for a very special year. A year in which we should all move closer together and pay more attention to each other. A year in which each and every one of us can use hope,” says Wolfram Kons, patron and presenter of the RTL telethon for 25 years.
This is also a concern for the Ndlovu Youth Choir. Originally initiated as a children’s aid program of the Ndlovu Care Group to provide a place to go for orphaned and vulnerable children and young people, they have benefited significantly from the support of many donors on their way to becoming a professional, internationally successful choir.
Thanks to their international success, such as reaching the final of the millionaire show “America’s Got Talent”, the members of the choir have become role models for people in rural South Africa. They have shown that no one has to remain trapped in poverty. That everyone has the chance to make something of their lives. Of course, this cannot always be achieved solely through one’s own efforts.
This is why there are initiatives such as the Hugo Tempelman Foundation and the RTL Spendenmarathon, whose financial support goes directly and precisely to where it is needed.
The anniversary show will start live on November 19, 2020 at 6 p.m. on RTL.
The song has been available in stores since November 6.
