African Children's Choir

This Sunday our church hosted the African Children's Choir. What an amazing group of children! They range in age from 7-12 years old and come from Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Rwanda, and other impoverished nations of Africa. Either one or both of their parents are deceased, leaving them to completely fend for themselves if not for the choir and its parent organization, Music for Life. Several troupes perform around the world for political and spiritual leaders, general audiences, and one was recently showcased on Ellen. After "graduating" from the choir, the children continue their education with the goal of making a better future for Africa. Singing and dancing, these kids melted my heart in a nanosecond!
