HOPEtober - Adcock Ingram OTC Sponsors of Brave inspiring HOPE through SONG
In these difficult times we all need HOPE and joy.
A double decker open top bus with five highly talented singers is riding around Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town, before stopping in a parking area closest to the building of each of the below listed hospitals.
They are singing well known SA songs to the healthcare workers (cleaners, receptionists, laboratory staff, nurses and doctors) to acknowledge and thank them by bringing HOPE and joy through SONG while also sharing these songs of HOPE to patients and staff, hoping to bring comfort and joy.
Ideally, Adcock Ingram OTC would like to make October the month of HOPE - HOPEtober.
Today, we joined the festivities at Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, and we heard the talented musicians rendition of popular songs from Vicky Sampson and Mango Groove, like My African Dream and Dance Some More.
To end off on a high note, the Hospital staff of Sunninghill Hospital treated the crowd of on-lookers to a performance by taking on the trending #JerusalemaChallenge from the hit song by Master KG - Jerusalema.
