Portland Welcomes
Concert of Hope
Light cast on children of Uganda
The Vancouver Avenue First
Baptist Church, 3138 N. Vancouver
Ave, will host a group of children
from the city o f Kampala and Afri­
can nation of Uganda.
The WatotoChildren’sChoirwill
perform at the church on Sunday,
Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. The goal o f the
Concert of Hope is to raise aware­
ness of the plight of 2 million chil­
dren in Uganda, left parentless as a
result of war and disease.
W atoto’s vital work affords au­
diences the opportunity to partici­
pate in restoring hope and dignity
to some of A frica’s most needy
children. The choir consisted of 18
boys and girls ages 5 to 12, who
have lost one or both parents to
their plight.
However, they now live in homes
built by Watoto Child Care Minis­
tries. Accompanying the children
is a group o f adults from Uganda
who supervise and care for the
children while on the road.
Since 1994, W atoto Children’s
Choirs have toured internationally
as ambassadors for Watoto Child
Care Ministries, a holistic orphan
care program. The choir is currently
on a world tour again and most
recently has performed at the White
House at the personal invitation of
President and Mrs. Laura Bush.
The choir’s music and multime­
dia presentation is a soulful fusion
of gospel and contemporary Afri­
can style. Dressed in colorful cos­
tume, the children's enthusiastic-
song and energetic dance has Watoto Children s Choir bring high spirit to the stage. The singers from Uganda will perform Sunday at Vancouver Avenue Baptist
moved audiences worldwide.
