The African Children’s Choir is comprised of 24 African children, ages seven to eleven. Each child in the Choir has lost one or both parents to poverty, war or AIDS. Through the group’s work and that of its sponsor, Music for Life, children in seven African nations receive scholarships and educational opportunities.
