voice 2: Nkosi died in the summer of the year two thousand and one. But his example showed many people that they do not have to be afraid of children with HIV/AIDS. Nkosi stopped many people from rejecting such children. The Soweto Gospel Choir members are happy to help Nkosi's Haven. They give some of the money they earn to buy medicines for the children.. They help to pay for the children's education. They support the families that care for those who are sick. The choir have even started their own aid group to help in the battle against HIV/AIDS. It is called Vukani. Many choir members belong to the Zulu tribe. Vukani is a Zulu word. It means wake up, arise. Lucas wants the people of the world to see what is happening in South Africa. He hopes that their work will cause the international community to wake up, to vukani only then can real change come.
声音2：恩科西在2001年夏天离开人世。但是他的事例向许多人证明，他们不用害怕感染艾滋病的儿童。恩科西使许多人不再拒绝这样的儿童。索韦托福音合唱团成员很乐意为恩科西避难所提供帮助。他们用他们挣的钱给感染儿童买药。他们帮这些儿童支付教育费用。他们为照顾患病儿童的家庭提供支持。合唱团甚至还成立了自己的援助组织，为对抗艾滋病的战斗提供帮助。他们的援助组织名为Vukani。许多合唱团成员来自祖鲁部族。Vukani是祖鲁语，意思是“醒来、起来”。卢卡斯希望全世界的民众都看到南非所发生的事情。他希望他们的工作能让国际社会“醒来”，因为只有这样才能带来真正的改变。
