PRINCE GEORGE, Va., PHILADELPHIA, and BALTIMORE, Nov. 9, 2018 Experience the Choir! https://www.watoto.com/choir/
The choir of 18 orphans from Uganda will continue its six-month U.S. tour in the Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia areas from November 10 through December 2, 2018 featuring a brand new concert, We Will Go!
Since 1994, the Watoto Children's Choirs have toured the world annually as advocates for the 18 million African children currently orphaned by AIDS. The experience of traveling on a choir helps the children to develop confidence and boldness, as well as broadening their worldview.
Along with energetic singing and dancing, the children will share inspiring stories of how their lives have been changed and how they have been called into a life of purpose to transform their communities. The show is an expression of joy from children who have been rescued after losing one or both parents to live in one of three Watoto villages. Their stories are journeys from despair to hope and from fear to faith.
Since 1994, Watoto Children's Choirs have traveled the world, shining a light on the plight of Africa's orphaned children. Each year, the choirs advocate for millions of African children currently orphaned by AIDS, poverty, and war. The children have performed before royalty and world leaders at venues including Buckingham Palace and the White House.
The choirs are part of the leadership training program of Watoto Child Care Ministries, which currently cares for more than 3,000 children living in family settings rather than an institution.
"I am excited to be a part of We Will Go," said Esther Kahangi, who was abandoned at a hospital and rescued by Watoto as a premature baby and spent her first weeks in critical care. "I know that I am a wonder because I am chosen by God as His child."
"What an extraordinary experience it is to see the Watoto Children's Choir," said Brian Houston, Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church. "It lights up the place to see these beautiful kids, and when you hear their stories and learn about where they have come from, you can't help but think of all God has done."
