THE Sunshine Coast is about to enjoy the unique sound of the Watoto Children’s Choir, a group of orphaned children from Uganda who will be performing their ‘Oh, What Love’ tour in April.
In conjunction with the Anglican Church of Noosa, the choir will be performing at St Andrew’s Anglican College in Peregian Springs on Wednesday, 29 April at 6.30pm.
Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled all over the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned and vulnerable, making an appeal to help raise these children so that they can rebuild their nation. Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents and they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to enjoy an evening of great music and see just how amazing these children are to have come from such poverty and sadness to now be travelling the world on tour”, said Chris Ivey, Principal of St Andrew’s Anglican College.
The performance is a free event open to the Sunshine Coast community. To find out more, contact St Andrew’s Anglican College on 5471 5555.
