The Volmoed Youth Drummers visited the United States from 8 to 25 November 2024 to promote unity and healing. During their trip through the USA Midwest, they participated in various events, including school programmes and church services, sharing their message of togetherness and understanding within communities. Their presence aimed to inspire hope and connection among the audiences they engaged with.

It has only been a few days since the funeral service of the Arch, but I feel it necessary to write to young people in South Africa, the rest of the continent and across the globe, about the Arch and the need to learn from him and to preserve or continue his rich legacy. He started out in a very poor township in South Africa and, with the support of others, became a world-renowned leader. If he could do it, any child who longs to do it, who nurtures certain values and disciplines and work hard, can also do it.
