In April 2007 Hilary decided she wanted to make a return visit to South Africa with a choir drawn from across her three UK choirs. A group of 23 choir members were brought together to form a single performing choir with a good repertoire.

The purpose of the visit was very much a cultural exchange, rather than a fund raising or concert tour. The aims were:

•To build lasting friendships between the choirs.

•To experience the joy of singing together,

  sharing songs and performing.

•To learn more about each others lives and

  Culture.

•To learn more about the needs in the Cullinan

  area,

•To help raise the profile of the Diamond Choir in

  and around their area,

•To support them in their work of raising

 awareness of HIV/AIDS issues and supporting

  local projects.

•To learn to sing and dance at the same time!!
