Last night we saw the amazing African Children's Choir. What a wonderful night it was to see
children with such gifts for music and dance. Declan was mesmerized by the drumming which the children do. They told amazing stories of what their program Music for Life can do for children. Some of the former choir members were there as adult performers. They all had attended college or were in the midst. The only reason they received an education was through the Music for Life program.
Rich and I really enjoyed the performance, as much or more than Declan. I love that the kids were still kids out there. They weren't perfect all the time but it didn't seem to faze them. They danced and sang with joy and exuberance. There were songs and dance from many different countries in Africa (the kids are from a variety of countries) and what an education it was to see the different native costumes, drumming and dances from each.
If they are in your city, be sure to attend the performance. You receive a great night out, your children have a learning experience and you are helping provide hope for children in Africa.
