Who is Lebo?

Lebo's River
This video and song really touched me. I stumbled upon the song when I was downloading some songs by one of my favorite music artist, Chantal Kreviazuk. The song was written by Lebo herself, Chantal and Raine Maida (Chantal's husband and member of the band, Our Lady Peace.) The song is about Lebo. She was a girl in South Africa who was raped, given HIV/AIDS and then gave birth to a daughter. Her dream was to be a singer. In a documentary, she was recorded singing part of the song that she wrote.

It is sad about Lebo. I think it's pretty cool & nice that they made a song out of her song. Song sounds cool too.
I wanna join an organization or something and go to places, such as Africa, to help in some way. I think that'll be pretty cool.
You can. There are many organizations. One of them is called the Peace Corps. I think you can get school credit too. My friend Anna went to Africa through that program. You might remember her from Kaleigh's birthday party last year. She was the Chinese girl with the dreadlocks. You can look it up. http://www.peacecorps.gov/ My friend became a vegetarian after she came back. So, beware.
