FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Ugandan Kids Choir, a group of 10 talented Ugandan children, has announced they will be performing at Evangel Church, 423 Thompson Road in Alabaster on Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. and at Community Baptist Church, 8254 Shelby County 17 in Maylene on Oct. 14 at 8:30 a.m.

All 10 children have been given hope through Childcare Worldwide’s Sponsorship Program, and now they are here to spread that hope to audiences all across the United States. The choir has performed nationwide at churches, schools, at Disneyland, on King 5 Television’s “New Day Northwest” and at Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks.

These children delight audiences with traditional African songs and dances. Megan DiRienzo, curator of education at the San Angelo Museum of Fine arts said, “All of you have amazing talents, beautiful voices and some serious dance skills! A performance like yours was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We fully support you on your mission to end child poverty!”

The Ugandan Kids Choir is a ministry of Childcare Worldwide, which has been dedicated to empowering children in the developing world since 1981. Through child sponsorship, Childcare Worldwide brings hope to children in need by providing them with an education setting them up for future employment and break the cycle of poverty in their lives.

By coming to this event, attendees will enjoy traditional African song and dance, as well as help children in need all around the world. For more information about our organization or to view our tour schedule please visit our website Childcareworldwide.org/choir.
