Search - African Children's Choir :: It takes a Whole Village

Early in the 1980's, Ray Barnett traveled to Uganda after hearing a report saying, "Over 150,000 orphans are dying of starvation in Uganda". Ray, raised as an orphan himself, desperately wanted to do something. He knew if people back home could only see these beautiful children in person, they would help. That's when the idea of a children's choir came to mind. After much prayer and the financial assistance of several churches, a team was sent to Uganda to select and bring out the first African Children's Choir. Today the African Children's Choir will delight your heart. Each year a new group is selected, while former members go back home to Africa to receive care and a good education. As a testament to the program's success, many former choir members are now in leadership positions and making a real impact in their homeland.
