TEXARKANA, Texas — A Ugandan children’s choir with the nonprofit Music for Life soon will visit the area, bringing music, cultural exchange and connection to local communities.

The African Children’s Choir is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Jan. 23 at Mount Orange Baptist Church. Admission is free.

The group includes 17 children from Uganda, ages 8 to 10. Local families host group members in their homes.

“Our mission statement is helping Africa’s most vulnerable children so they help Africa tomorrow,” Music for Life Choir Manager Tina Sipp said. “The children will get to tour 25 states.”

The African Children’s Choir is part of a larger, international Christian organization called Music for Life. Music for Life provides impoverished children throughout Africa with the education, discipleship and leadership skills.
