Day 22: Children of the World Choir


Last night the Children of the World choir performed at Lake Murray. Last year they brought kids from several countries such as India, China, the Philippines, and different African countries. Only children from the Kampala region of Uganda were in the choir this time, and we really enjoyed watching and hearing them dance and sing praise songs and learning their stories. All have lost one parent to AIDS, some of them both parents. The ones who lost only one parent were often abandoned. You can read more about the amazing choir and the incredible kids (E is pictured above with two of them) and their organization that houses, feeds, and educates orphaned and abandoned children around the world by clicking here: Children of Hope. I will write more about it on my regular blog: Meditative Meanderings.
