They’re travelling the world with a musical message of love.

The Watoto Children’s Choir is touring Canada, and the choir is making a stop in Burnaby on Saturday, June 25 for a concert at Nelson Avenue Community Church.

The choir’s singers are African children who have been orphaned and who now take their message of love around the world.

“After losing my parents I felt alone, with no one to love me,” said six-year-old Jackie Nakku in a press release from the choir. “Now I know that God is my father. He loves and cares for me. As I travel on the choir, I am going to show people that God loves them too.”

Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled all over the world sharing the stories of Africa’s orphaned and vulnerable citizens.

Nelson Avenue Community Church is at 5825 Nelson Ave. The concert is at 6 p.m. Admission is free, with an offering in support of the choir to be taken during the performance. For information, call 604-435-4123.
