THE RESOUNDING VOICE OF AN ORPHAN

She woke up in the morning expecting her parents to come home but to no avail, news came in from the neighbors that her parents had been killed in a serious looting masterminded by Dada, a notorious dictator.With no parents she felt empty at such a young age,she was another victim of Dada's reign.

She prayed everyday for a sign of hope for her family, divine intervention was the only means of hope.Her prayers were answered when an Irish Missionary [an orphan] invested his time and resource to start an orphanage. The orphanage sparked off the start of the African Children's Choir. A Choir, comprising of orphans that have sang wonderful tunes to inspire many around the world.

Many orphans have done instrumental things in the world for example:

• Nelson Mandela, a prominent freedom fighter in South Africa.
  
• Bill Clinton, an American President, who helped the American economy blossom.
• Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, who has contributed to technological advancement.

We all have gifts and talents but we have to overcome adversity to move forward and have an  impact in the world. Take heart from the wonderful orphans who blessed the world with their gifts and talents. http://thirdworldorphans.org/gpage.html34.html

MY MICROCOSM INTO MUSIC

The beat goes Tigida Tigida as the Queen of England steps out of the plane, she listens to the beat and smiles, as the locals of the "Pearl of Africa"  welcome her to their nation. She inhales the breath of hospitality in this nation, and feels right at home.
The following week, the beat goes Tigida Tigida as the President of France steps out of the plane, he listens to the beat and smiles, as the locals of the "Pearl of Africa" welcome him to their nation. He is also affected by the breath of hospitality and feels right at home.
 Music can improve relations between nations

My South African friend said:

"We fought apartheid, lets unite as we sing Kwaito Music. It is the pride of our nation and puts the country on the world map for the right reasons and not the wrong reasons. We have come a long way. Though the word Kwaito reminds me of the barbaric activities in the gold mines, the Kwaito sounds rapidly erase those tragic memories with a state of pride and victory."
Music was a medium of hope to the people of South Africa, and the country is well known overseas for its enthralling sounds.

I listened to inspirational songs after every surgery, and it gave me hope. It put positive thoughts in my mind, and  I never thought, I would not make it through adversity. So whenever I listen to those songs now, they remind me of the struggles I went through, and how I overcame them. One particular song that really helped me in the latter stages of my recovery was "All ye" by Coffey Anderson. This song always made me happy and rejuvenated my spirits. Music is truly a healer.
