African Children's Choir—Live in Amarillo, 7/15

Thanks so much to Amy Berry, Tour Leader for the African Children’s Choir, for speaking with High Plains Morning about the upcoming show in Amarillo. This group has been at it since 1984, aiding kids in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Africa. Their purpose is to help create new leadership for tomorrow's Africa, with a focus on education for all. The kids have performed for presidents, heads of state, and Queen Elizabeth II for her diamond jubilee; they’ve also played with Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Mariah Carey, and more.

Thanks to the generosity of audiences across the world, this program has educated over 52,000 children across Africa and impacted the lives of over 100,000 people through its relief and development programs. So come out and support the effort! Here's a videoabout the choir, as well as a great recording of a recent performance.
