| Tim Janis approached CWS less than a
year ago asking if he could help to raise funds to assist AIDS
projects in Africa by creating a benefit CD. Church World Service
contacted two of its partners in South Africa — Sinikithemba
(We Give Hope) Christian Care Center in Durban and
the South
African Council of Churches — and an incredible
collaboration began to unfold.
Tim recorded with two choirs —
the Sinikithemba HIV+ Choir (above right), in Durban, and
the world famous Imolonji KaNtu Choral Society (above left)
in Soweto. He also graciously agreed to perform benefit events
while in South Africa.
The special “AIDS
in Africa Benefit Edition” of the CD "A
Thousand Summers" is now available from Church World
Service. One hundred percent of the purchase price of the
CD goes to support CWS HIV/AIDS programs in Africa.
