The director that was with the choir was a past choir member who was able to do amazing things with his life thanks to the opportunities that the program and sponsorships provided. He graduated with a bachelor's in business and is using his talents to help his country back home. He presented the children with the preface that all of the children are 7,8,or 9 year olds and have either lost their mother, father, or both. These children needed a chance to shine and African Children's Choir has given that opportunity. Their faces beamed and their hearts shined as they sang about God's love.
One of my favorite parts of the concert was when each child came up to the microphone, introduced themselves, and said what they want to be when they grow up. Their future dreams ranged from pilots to nurses to doctors to teachers to vets to cardiologists to pastors. The tears snuck back into the corners of my eyes knowing that these children have the opportunity to hope and aspire for a future.
Their faces are beautiful but it is not as amazing as their voices...enjoy the sweet music from sweet kids from halfway around the world...
