Noah Mushimiyimana, Rapper and Ambassador, Keep a Child Alive Hi! I am Noah, one of the millions of HIV-positive children worldwide. In June 2008, I had no idea my life was about to change. Leigh Blake, the President of Keep a Child Alive (KCA) traveled to Kigali, Rwanda to the Icyuzuzo Clinic, where I receive my free HIV medicine. After her work at the clinic, she visited a few patients' homes, one of which turned out to be mine! She asked me what my biggest dream in life was. I told her that I want to record an album of my music.

That's when Leigh invited me to perform at Keep a Child Alive’s Annual Fundraiser, The Black Ball in New York City! When I first arrived in the U.S., I went straight to Swizz Beatz’s recording studio and had my first taste of recording! Then, I met Alicia Keys, KCA’s co-founder! She is one of my favorite artists. Here I was in America, where anything is possible. I performed my rap “Brothers” at The Black Ball, and then I returned to Rwanda, bringing hope to a place where it is desperately needed. My Grandmother wants me to live in America now but says never to forget about her, and to send money back.

Today through my music, I know I have the potential to transform not only his life and the lives of my family, but the futures of millions of people living with HIV. Thanks to the life-saving medication and care provided by KCA, I am living proof that HIV is not a death sentence for the millions of children infected by the disease, not unless we let it be.

Noah, I just want to start off by saying how amazing you are.

You are a very strong young man, who has inspired me and millions of

others. You have made a great impact on this world!!!

Your performance on American Idol was unbelievable and I have watched it

over and over again. Ever since I could remember, helping children and

families affected with or by HIV/AIDS has been my passion. As I made my

decision into where I would be attending college, I decided on a college where

going to Africa and fulfilling my dream could be possible. I wish to one day

meet you and stand in the presence of someone GREAT. You truly are an

inspiration. You can achieve anything Noah!! I love forward to seeing what

you do next =]



Love,

Taylor "Teekay" Kennedy




P.S. Thank you...

Even though I am older I learn a lot from you! and I admire you. so ALLL my KISSSSESSS and BEAR HUGGGSSSS to you.

Noah - I hope you realize what a big thing you did. Your song on American Idol motivated people in America to donate a half a million US dollars to Keep a Child Alive, all by text messaging. Each text message gave $5 USD, so that means that one hundred thousand people had responded by the time the show was over, only one hour.

You wanted to help your family and your country... well, Noah, you did even more than that. You got a LOT of people to help. You are an amazing young man.
