Ugandan Orphans Raising Money for Children
A children's choir made up of 18 orphans from Uganda will perform Thursday at the Patricia R. Harris Education Center in Southeast in a concert to raise money to build homes for children who have lost parents to AIDS and war in the African nation.
The Watoto Children's Choir from Kampala, Uganda, whose members range in age from 6 to 14, will sing at 7 p.m. at the center, 4600 Livingston Rd. The choir is touring the United States to raise awareness of the plight of their nation's orphans. Money raised on the tour will be used to help build children's villages.
The choir has performed around the world and for President Bush at the White House.
The event will be hosted by Faith Tabernacle of Prayer and the city's 7th Police District. Admission is free.
