Nyumbani Watoto wa Mungu Choir - See the Light
The orphans at the Nyumbani Institute are all HIV positive, but that doesn't stop them from helping to educate their nation. Their choir, Watoto wa Mungu, or "Children of God," is a huge commercial success and actually topped the Kenyan charts at its release. Even though they may sing out of tune, their hearts are in the right place, and their music has had a significant effect in working to break down stigma and discrimination against those living with HIV.
