Mai Tam House of Hope 是 HIV病毒/愛滋病陽性寡婦,母親和兒童的家和中心,為他們提供住所,醫療,醫療,教育和轉介,以及其他求助人士提供支援。 生活在Mai Tam的兒童都受到 HIV病毒/愛滋病的感染和影響 - 有些是HIV病毒陽性或有愛滋病,有些是HIV病毒/愛滋病患者的兒童或孤兒。
In 2013, GsM Choir was invited to host a concert as a fund-raising event for the Mai Tam House of Hope in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Lyrics is adapted from the quotations of Mother Teresa in the theme of Oil and Lamp as a parable of Love. The Mai Tam House of Hope is a home and center for HIV/AIDS positive widows, mothers, and children that provides shelter, medicine, medical care, education, and referrals for its residents and the many walk-ins it receives in need of support. The children living at Mai Tam are both infected and affected by HIV/AIDS--some are HIV positive or have AIDS and some are the children or orphans of persons with HIV/AIDS.
This song was composed for the fund-raising concert to the Mai-Tam House of Hope which is an orphan home for the HIV positive children.
