St. Paul’s, Canton hosted the African Children’s Choir on their “Just As I Am” North American tour, beginning with a concert that drew a crowd of 125 people. Children from Canton joined their counterparts from the other side of the world in a combination of song, dance, and storytelling ranging from traditional Ugandan rhythms to “This Little Light of Mine.” The evening raised more than $900 to sponsor the choir, which is part of Music for Life, a ministry that extends to a half-dozen African countries. And while music is its backbone, the goal is education. The children, most ages 7-10, spend six months preparing for their nine-month tours. When they return home, they’ll attend boarding school through university graduation. They told the audience at St. Paul’s that they’ll become doctors, nurses, teachers, scientists, and police officers.
