Join Us for an Unforgettable Concert Experience – A Night of Music with a Heartfelt Purpose!

Last year, as part of our Cultural Immersion Tour, I had the profound privilege of visiting Mamitiana Orphanage in Madagascar, alongside Stuart Simpson, Rose Ruane, and my nieces and nephews. Located on the eastern side of Antananarivo, the capital, the orphanage was founded by the incredible Madame Hary in 2012. What started as a humble project from her own home has grown into a haven for 54 children, some of whom were rescued from areas where twins are sadly believed to be cursed.

Despite the challenges, the orphanage continues to thrive, relying entirely on the kindness of visitors. They grow their own rice, maintain a small chicken farm, and have a vegetable garden to sustain themselves. But their greatest need is for ongoing support and resources to continue providing for these beautiful children.

By attending our concert, you’ll be helping make a direct impact on the lives of these children. All profits from this concert will go toward completing the construction of a much-needed training center and extra bedrooms at Mamitiana Orphanage in Madagascar, helping provide valuable education and support to the children in their care. In May this year, we raised over $4000 at a fundraising concert and $1700 on Givealittle. Help us raise $2500 more so they can finish the building before the arrival of the rainy season.
