wow, what a treat this was. I had heard of this group of kids, saw them on Oprah earlier in the year and also saw them on American Idol Gives Back. My neighbors mentioned that they were hosting this group at their church in St. Agatha in the middle of August. I was excited to hear that I could go and Rick's daughter and I were honoured to be their guests.
This group of children ranged in age from 10 to 12 years old. The kids usually tour for two years and then go back to Africa to school. They go to school 7 days a week and consider it a grand privilege. There were 22 in the choir and were amazing, they all introduced themselves and told us what they wanted to be when they grew up, it was so interesting, brought tears to your eyes.
thanks nikki and mark for the invite, a memorable evening for sure...
