African Children's Choir

Last night I was priviledged to attend the African Children's Choir concert at First English Lutheran.

The African Children's Choir is part of Music for Life Institute and raises funds to educate and take care of the basic needs of several thousand African children, especially in Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa, where need is dire. The choir is made up of children ages 7 to 11, specially chosen. Once they complete their tour, they will be sponsored through the college level, and will return to Africa to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, and so on.

Seriously, watching these kids is a delight. It's always delightful to watch a child perform, but these kids are amazing. FULL of energy, non-stop dancing and singing. It really is a joy to see them smiling, and knowing that their future is bright.
