Asante childrens choir

The Asante Childrens Choir, is a choir made up of 12 girls and 12 boys making a total of 24 Rwandan children, ranging from the ages 8-15. Each and every one of these children have been through A lot! Some lost there parents and siblings to HIV-AIDS, others were abandoned, some orphans, and others stricken by a life of poverty and malnutrition. As said by one of the little boys in the choir Patrick
"by the Mercy and Grace of God we were selected through auditioning and now have a home, food, clothes, and the chance change lives by singing in America". That chance came true for these 24 kids the choir toured the northwest of America for 3 months. Directed by Barbara Kayaga, the choir came to America to say thank you for all the ways America is helping there country and to tell there stories through song and dance.
I had the privilege to tour with the choir and help by running child sponsorship  and chaperoning different kids at host homes. It was incredible to meet so many families as they opened up there homes, love, food, and transportation to us.  I was changed in so many ways and learned how to be a part of something so much bigger then me.
