COMING TO SHREVEPORT! 11/20/16!
African Children’s Choir is Ministry, Growth, Healing and Hope
Grade-school Ambassadors Spread Joy, Escape Strife in Shreveport, World
by Marcinho Savant, Staff Writer
Childhood is hard. Especially when you are disadvantaged. Often with no prospects for a brighter future. Thanks to a Canadian Christian organization, Music for Life, African children tour the world, over ten demanding months per year--- for the most eye-opening experience of their young lives. They enlighten audiences, enmeshing them in their musical offerings. African smiles.
Music for Life also has offices in Bellingham, Washington, and in Langley, British Columbia. Their stirring, heartwarming, brand of song sharing arrives in Shreveport on November 20th, 2016.
These children are sent off away from home, with their family’s reluctant, fearful, blessings, and their gratitude. Their children get the chance of a lifetime which would likely never have come to them. An immediate, and indelible, benefit of the choir’s existence is that the members--- while spreading music from city to hamlet--- get to see a lifestyle, career opportunities, and a future they never even knew existed.

Savvy, global, concert artists, the children are between the ages of eight and 12.
