Raising Future Leaders…

Just spent an evening with the Watoto Children’s Choir…..
a beautiful, uplifting evening…. hearing from those who have endured more than most of us would in a lifetime, but have found Someone who loves them and will never forget them šŸ˜€

Truly a Concert of Hope!

Here’s a clip, if you’re feeling forgotten today….

I Am Not ForgottenĀ 

Another one for praise….

(These are from a couple of years ago, but are the clearest I found… you get more of the energy at a live performance, though :D)

The Watoto Choirs tour internationally as ambassadors for Watoto, presenting the vision and mission through music and dance…..
An excerpt from the brochure –
“Watoto is an holistic care programme that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned and vulnerable children and women in Africa. It is positioned to rescue an individual, raise each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that in turn they will rebuild their nation. The Watoto model provides for physical care, medical intervention (including HIV/AIDS treatment), education (formal and vocational), counselling and emotional wellbeing, moral and spiritual discipleship.”

Here’s the site –

Watoto – Rescue Raise RebuildĀ 

Go have a look – there’s lots of info…. you can sponsor a child, Baby Watoto, a house mother, or a woman living with HIV/AIDS… you can even buy Ā great merchandise, and support the various projects.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even find out how to visit! šŸ˜€

A final message from the children….
