This Sunday the 15th of November The African Children’s Choir will be performing at the City Temple in Swansea and a few of us from Pillar will be heading down to the show.

The African Children’s Choir is made up of some of the neediest and most vulnerable children in their countries. Many have lost one or both parents to poverty or disease. The African Children’s Choir helps these children break away from the everyday cycle of poverty and hopelessness. To date over seven hundred vulnerable children have been through the Choir program and the funds they have generated have provided the opportunity of education and hope for many thousands like them in some of the most desperate and needy areas of Africa.

Tickets are a £1 and doors open at 6.30
