Children’s Choir to sing in Uniontown
As part of its 2005-06 United States tour, World Help presents Children of the World International Children’s Choir. Comprised of 17 children from five different countries, they will be in concert at Abundant life Church, 1239 Brownfield Road, Uniontown, on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. These orphaned and disadvantaged children are from India, Nepal, Uganda, Brazil and the Philippines. They are in the midst of a 10-month tour and have performed in Disney World, Lego Land and the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif. The inspiring one-hour concert will feature several songs in both English and native dialects as well as stirring personal testimonies. The concert includes a video presentation featuring footage of the children’s home countries.
Officials said, “These children represent thousands of children in World Help’s Child Sponsorship Program around the world who suffer hardship, hunger and disease. The purpose of the Children of the World is to generate compassion and inspire individuals to get involved in the World Help Sponsorship Program, helping to change the world …one child at a time.’
Begun in 1991, World Help is an interdenominational, independent mission organization. Each child in the choir will be provided with a four-year college education when he or she reaches the proper age. None of the children in the choir is available for adoption.
World Help has programs in 50 countries, including India, China, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Vietnam, Russia, Cuba, Thailand, Uganda, Mexico and the Philippines.
World Help is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and strives to keep overhead costs to a minimum, using only 9 percent for the administration of various projects. All gifts designed for specific projects are used as designated.
