An African children's choir will perform at Coquitlam Christian Centre next week as part of its Beautiful Africa: A New Generation tour.
Established in 1994, the Watoto Children's Choir represents the millions of children affected by HIV/AIDS, war and poverty. Each member of the choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents and lives in one of three Watoto Children's Villages in Kampala and Gulu, Uganda, where the Watoto organization cares for more than 2,500 orphaned or abandoned kids.
Concert admission is free but merchandise, including CDs, DVDs, t-shirts and handcrafted items, is available for sale.
The choir's evening of original African music, dance routines and stories is at Coquitlam Christian Centre, 2665 Runnel Dr. is on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m.
