WINNIPEG — They’re full of energy and a joy to watch.
The young kids that make up the Watoto Children’s Choir will be bringing their upbeat songs and dance to Global’s Morning News Thursday.
The choir has traveled the world since 1994 and made a stop in Winnipeg this week. They travel with a team of adults, promoting and raising money for the roughly 50 million vulnerable children in Africa, who are orphaned as a result of HIV/ AIDS, war, poverty and disease.
You’ll get to watch this bubbly group of kids approximately once an hour starting at 6:20 a.m. on the Morning News, again at 7:30 a.m. and 8:50 a.m.
The children live in Watoto children’s villages and travelling has allowed them to see the world and be exposed to different cultures. Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of their parents either through war or disease.
