MKI’s Goodwill Ambassador Jimmie Earl Perry stars in Hour of Power Christmas Concert in the Netherlands.




After a successful world AIDS concert in Cape Town on December 1, Goodwill Ambassador Jimmie Earl Perry has been singing the stars from the sky during the 6 Hour of Power Christmas Concerts in the Netherlands.

Jimmie’s involvement in this years Christmas concerts is the results of a very special relationship which started about six months ago when I met with the Director of Hour of Power Netherlands, Louis Pool.

Louis and his wife Erna joined Yasmin and I during our summer visit to South Africa. Hour of Power Netherlands had just created “Heart for Children” a Dutch foundation which mission it is to create small homes for the many orphans in Africa.

With the help of my contacts in South Africa the first home was found within the first days of our visit and now the mothers running the home of “Heart for Children” are also part of MKI’s educational program in South Africa.

Louis and Erna Pool dedicated to “Heart for Children” appointed me Goodwill Ambassador together with the famous American tenor Daniel Rodriquez.

That is why this years Hour of Power’s Christmas concert were dedicated not only to “Heart for Children” but also to MKI. Hence the invitation for Jimmie Earl Perry to join Daniel Rodriquez and Dutch famous young singer Sharon Kips. These three wonderful voices have been enjoyed by more than 12,000 people in the 6 concerts (Utrecht, december 13 - Leiden, december 15 – Rotterdam, december 16 – Drachten, december 17 – Maastricht, december 19 and Arnhem, december 20)

Many thanks to the wonderful friends of Hour of Power Netherlands, especially to Louise Pool and Jan van den Bosch.
