United Against Aids Benefit Concert
Featuring
Matimba Ya Ripfumelo – (The Power of Hope)

Founded by Teboho Moeno, Matimba Ya Rimpfumelo is 15 voices who have all suffered losses because of HIV/AIDS and want to fight back.  They form Boston’s premier South African ensemble

All proceeds to benefit Izimbali Zesizwe – Flowers of the Nation, an orphan feeding and outreach program in South Africa.  Izimbali Zesizwe is sponsored and staffed by the Massachusetts General Hospital affiliated iTEACH program.  They provide meals, tutoring, and activities for children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

It takes only $9 to feed one child for a month and all staff is volunteer, but lack of funds and space currently limits the program to 50 children.  Funds are needed not only to continue, but ultimately to construct a building that can accommodate more children and provide emergency shelter beds for those most at risk.
