Back & Better – 2nd Asia Tour 2012 Exclusively in Singapore!

The Watoto Children’s Choir will be performing in Singapore from 31 March to 22 April 2012. Accompanied by a team of adults, the Watoto Children’s Choir has travelled internationally since 1994 to advocate for the millions of children in Africa who have been orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS, war, poverty and disease.

In partnership with Watoto Asia, World Vision hopes to deliver a concert with a powerful message of hope through African contemporary music, singing, drama, multimedia and testimonies. Each song that the children will be singing expresses the very heart and will of God. Rise to your feet in reverence for God when you hear the Watoto Children’s Choir sing!

Give your memories!

How about giving them a gift of memories before the choir leaves Singapore? If you managed to capture pictures of them in Singapore with your DSLR or camera phone, how about adding them to our Facebook page by 22 April 2012. Our very friendly World Vision staff will help to compile and bless them with these precious memories of their visit to Singapore!
 

How can you help Africa?

1. Pray
Suggested prayer pointers:

• Pray for those still struggling to recover from disasters. More than 13 million people are in need of humanitarian aid in drought-ravaged Horn of Africa. More than one-third of the region’s children face emergency levels of malnutrition.
• Pray that children in poverty have better access to food, clean water, healthcare, education and the other life essentials.
• Pray that children and their communities will know and be transformed by God’s love for them.
• Pray for protection for World Vision staff and their families in the different remote and relief areas in Africa, that God use them to save lives and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.

2. Sponsor a child from Africa
World Vision’s Child Sponsorship programme addresses the root causes of poverty in order to help communities in Africa break out of the cycle of poverty. Only then will the communities be strengthened and empowered for true transformational change.

3. Contribute to food projects in Africa
World Vision is partnering United Nation’s World Food Programme to deliver and distribute life-saving food and relief essentials to hungry and malnourished children. Through the partnership, your contribution to World Vision multiplies up to 10 times in value for starving children affected in famine-stricken communities.

4. Organise a creative fundraising activity
Squeeze out your creative juices and cook up a storm to raise funds for the plight of the children in Africa. For example, you can bake cookies to sell to your community, or run a marathon and get your family and friends to pledge a certain amount. Who says you can’t have fun for a good cause?

“Don’t fail to do something just because you can’t do everything.” ~ Bob Pierce, World Vision founder

About World Vision’s partnership with Watoto

Watoto Child Care Ministries was established in 1994 by Gary and Marilyn Skinner as a compassionate response to the orphan crisis confronting the East African Nation of Uganda. More than 2 million children in Uganda were orphaned through the scourge of civil war and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Since then, the Watoto Children’s Choir have toured internationally to inform audiences across the globe of the life-saving work which has, and must be continued, restored hope and dignity to Africa’s most needy children.

Similarly, World Vision shares Watoto’s commitment to care for Africa’s children whose lives have been ravaged by natural disasters, war conflicts and HIV/AIDS, especially those from Ethiopia, Lesotho and Zambia which are under World Vision Singapore’s care.

You have probably seen pictures and videos of suffering so unbearable and absolute poverty so unimaginable in Africa. However, through this strategic collaboration with Watoto, World Vision hopes to highlight another picture rarely seen by Singaporeans. This is the picture of hope and the love of God emerging victorious and triumphant over suffering and despair, painted by the united choir of voices and testimonies of Africa’s next generation of leaders!
