July Challenge Offering
African Children’s Choir
The African Children’s Choir was in concert at First Church last December. Click here to see photos from that concert. Although many are orphans or come from very poor families the children, radiated joy, enthusiasm and optimism. In many cases families must pay for their children to go to school and as a result many do not have the opportunity for an education.
The African Children’s Choir has been working with the most vulnerable children in Africa for 26 years. Their mission was, and still is, to show the world that Africa’s most needy and vulnerable children have beauty, dignity, and unlimited ability. Each year a new choir is selected and the children from the previous year’s choir return to their homelands to attend school.
Their education is completely funded by the African Children's Choir. Some of these young adults continue in university programs, where they train to become doctors, engineers or other professional leaders in Africa. Others receive vocational and technical training, developing the skills they need to lead productive, fulfilling lives.
