Kyle Healy - African Children’s Choir
I moved to Glasgow about 15 years ago and have been coming to The Findlay ever since. It is great to be part of such an amazing family! I have been working with the African Children’s Choir for the past 5 years, working in many different roles. I started working with the choir as a sound guy and Chaperone for the children. After a year of touring, I was asked to go to Africa for about 6 months. This was a huge blessing as I got to learn, first hand, about the different cultures within Uganda and South Africa. For the last couple of years I have been working on our theatre show. Currently I am the Technical Director for our “Journey of Hope” production.
The African Children’s Choir
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. We are currently working in seven different countries within Africa: Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa.
As they come from some of the most needy families, the African Children’s Choir™ is committed to helping Choir children physically, spiritually, emotionally and academically, giving each child an opportunity to reach their God-given potential.
While touring with the Choir, the children are exposed to a world of new possibilities. Chaperones, host communities and caring professionals share their wide variety of experiences with the children, exposing them to many new ideas and encouraging them to dream.
After returning to Africa, the African Children’s Choir™ provides care and education that builds on the unique international exposure the children experienced abroad. The children receive a quality education, leadership training and spiritual ministry at the Music for Life Primary School in Kampala, or at other well-equipped schools in their respective countries. Our school in Uganda consistently achieves some of the highest grades in the country!
Here is a video which explains more about the work of the choir.
