Default African Childrens Choir

Last weekend the Africans Children's Choir performed at our church, then the next day I got to follow them around while they went to play in a local park. Was the first time they had seen fall foliage. Such cute kids and really so lucky to have been chosen for the choir. They sing with them for a year and after that they are taken care of and put through school til they graduate from college !!!
