Get Off This Bus

"Get Off This Bus" written and performed by Glenn Marais. Shot outside Mbabane, Swaziland during the Heart for Africa mission in June 2009 for the Celebrate Litsemba Concert and outreach mission. The video is a tribute to the spirit and faith of the beautiful people of Swaziland and a message for the world to reach out and help these wonderful children and their families who face the enormous burden of poverty and the devastation of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Every day of their lives is a struggle for survival and hope is hard to find. Despite this, their spirit and joy for life is incredible.

Hey Sharayah, great to hear from you! I just got back from Swaziland. It was an incredible experience. They are some of the kindest, most gracious people, I've ever met. We were there to build gardens in the community and I sang at the National Stadium for a hope concert in front of 20 000 at risk children. It was beautiful.

Wow what a beautiful country. We live so well and those kids are dying by the hundreds every day. We spend trillions on war instead of helping them.

@GMarais Yeah its been a while since we talked. That sounds amazing it sounds like you had a wonderful time and its clear that this is what you are supposed to do. The way you speak so highily of the people you meet and the places you go, it tells me that you couldnt be doing anything more than you are now.
