Destiny Africa Children’s Choir

The Destiny Africa Children’s Choir 2018 World Tour is coming to Granby in June. This multi-talented children’s choir has been touring worldwide since 2009 and delivers an amazing, heartfelt experience of joy and hope. They have performed for heads of state, ambassadors and in concert halls around the world. In the U.S., they have performed at the Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz, The Boston and Brooklyn African Festivals, The Newport Yachting Center, the 2013 Hartford Women of Faith Conference, and performed with four-time Grammy Award winners the Christian rock band Third Day.

Destiny Africa is the choir from Kampala Children’s Centre in Uganda, a home for vulnerable children affected by poverty, disease and war. It is difficult to believe the hardships these children have already endured in their young lives as you listen and look at their smiling faces. The music they make is exciting, inspiring and vibrant.

The choir will perform in Granby on Sunday, June 24, at First Congregational Church at 10 a.m. Do not miss this glorious opportunity to hear and see these amazing performers. You are invited to enjoy firsthand the exuberance and excitement these children bring. Their performance is free although a free will offering will be collected.

Without Kampala Children’s Centre and the compassion of others, many of these children may not have survived at all. The goal for the 2018 U.S. Tour is to raise awareness for ongoing projects such as much needed expansion to their onsite secondary school, additional female housing and sponsoring KCC houses’ food budgets. These projects are vital to the development of the children. The aim is to provide an excellent education, good health care and optimal nutrition. Together, we continue to provide a safe and loving environment to children who come from war torn areas, slums and AIDS affected areas.
