Kuyasa Kids Choir begins Hamilton County tour Tuesday

Orphans. Should we let them live, or let them die? This question was posed to Pendleton resident Robert W. Pearson during a trip through South Africa, when he was serving as Church of God Ministries CEO, the administrative hub of the Church of God, a fellowship of 2,300 congregations in North America and more than 7,000 worldwide.

This one simple, yet profound question changed the direction of Pearson’s life.

In 2001, Pearson launched Horizon International, a non-profit, Christian organization whose mission is to create a world of hope for HIV/AIDS orphans. Today, Horizon is the vessel thru which nearly 1,900 African orphans get their basic needs met. Independent Child Sponsors can choose the child they wish to support online, and with only $35 a month, a child’s basic needs are met.

The annual American awareness campaign is realized through the Kuyasa Kids Choir. This spring, the choir will be performing in Hamilton County churches, and those in neighboring counties and states. The Kuyasa Kids is Horizon International’s acclaimed choir and dance team from South Africa. The choir is comprised of 18 African youth; many who have been orphaned themselves. The primary purpose of their annual trip to America is to raise awareness of the plight of infants, children, and youth who have been orphaned, as a result of this dreadful disease.

“Kuyasa” is a Xhosa word that means “sun rising.” Through singing and dancing, the Kuyasa Kids e, hope is being generated for thousands of children and youth who have become orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
