We were glad to get to see the International Children's Choir perform last week, they did a wonderful job & raised lots of awareness for orphans & the water crisis in the world. There were several children from Africa, but unfortunately there were no kids from Guatemala on this team. It was sooo good though to be reminded of the big picture!
We had listened to several songs (Ellyana has music "in her bones" as she "sang", clapped & danced to the music), I pulled out her sippy cup to give her a good, long drink of water...just as they started talking about the Global Water Crisis & how far people have to walk to get water & even more so to get to good, clean water that isn't filled with parasites that make them sick or die.
It was humbling to be there with our kids & being reminded of our simple, yet giant blessings like fresh water!
The kids got to meet the choir afterward, the African girls thought it was so cool Ellyana had a hairbow like them ;)(read the next blog for whatelse we have been up to)

ReplyDeleteYou got a musical one! : ) Funny! Cole seems quite musically inclined as well, but it tends more toward the dancing aspect. We shall see. My dancing and rhythm is even worse than my singing ability.
