African Children’s Choir plans concerts across states

The African Children’s Choir’s “Light Your World” tour is bringing free performances to communities in Missouri, Oklahoma and Kentucky, featuring African praise music, gospel and spirituals alongside drumming, dance and storytelling. The ensemble includes children ages 8 to 11 from vulnerable backgrounds in Africa, with the program using performance to support their education and personal development. Choir leaders say the children gain opportunities to build skills and confidence, while audiences can support the organization through donations collected at performances. The organization says its education work has helped tens of thousands of children over more than four decades.
