African Childrens Choir 25th Anniversary Gala

The internationally acclaimed African Children’s Choir is celebrating their 25th Anniversary on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at the Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, BC. The Gala will feature performances by the African Children’s Choir with friends Beth Nielson Chapman, Paul Rodgers, and Michael McDonald. Sir Bob Geldof will be presented with the prestigious Malaika Award – Malaika meaning “Angel” in Swahili – for his dedicated and extraordinary commitment to Africa.



The African Children’s Choir has been helping Africa’s most vulnerable children for 25 years this month. Their purpose: to raise awareness of the plight of the orphaned and abandoned, but also show the beauty, dignity, and potential of each African child. With a focus on education, the Choir is currently caring for several thousand underprivileged children throughout Africa. These are children who could have lost all hope, but have overcome their circumstances and now are making a positive impact on society by being a voice for millions of children suffering in Africa.
